Fever
Peggy Lee Lyrics

Never know how much I love you
I realize now that I never fully understood the depth of my love for you

Never know how much I care
It wasn't until I felt your embrace that I realized how much I truly care for you

When you put your arms around me
The moment you embrace me, a unique and intense sensation overcomes me

I get a fever that's so hard to bear
The sensation I feel when you hold me is so strong that it almost becomes unbearable

You give me fever when you kiss me
Every time you kiss me, my body temperature rises and an overpowering feeling takes over

Fever when you hold me tight
Even when you simply embrace me tightly, my feelings for you become magnified and intense

Fever in the mornin'
Whether it's morning or any other time of the day, the fire you ignite in me continues to burn strong

A fever all through the night
Even when I'm trying to rest at night, the intensity of my love for you keeps me up and feeling hot

Sun lights up the day time
As sure as the sun in the sky, I feel alive and energized when I'm with you

Moon lights up the night
Even the moon seems to shine brighter when I'm with you, underlining the powerful feelings you evoke in me

I light up when you call my name
My whole being radiates in anticipation and joy when I hear you call my name

And you know I'm gonna treat you right
I'm committed to cherishing you always and treating you with the respect and care that you deserve

Everybody's got the fever
The feelings that we share for each other are not new or unique, they are simply part of the human experience

That is somethin' you all know
We are not alone in experiencing these passionate and intense feelings towards another person

Fever isn't such a new thing
The sensation of feverish passion and desire has been experienced by countless others before us throughout history

Fever started long time ago
These fiery feelings are not the result of modern living, rather they have been a part of human interactions for centuries

Romeo loved Juliet
The story of Romeo and Juliet serve as a timeless example of how strong the feverish sensations of love can become

Juliet she felt the same
That love can be reciprocated in the same feverish manner shows how powerful the human heart can be

When he put his arms around her
Even the simple act of an embrace between two lovers can set off intense feelings of passion and desire

"Julie baby you're my flame"
The metaphor of fire as a symbol of love and passion is a recurring theme throughout history and literature

Thou giveth fever, when we kisseth
The very act of kissing can ignite feverish feelings of desire and love

Fever with thy flaming youth
The passion and energy of youth can only magnify the feelings of feverish love and desire

Fever I'm on fire
The intensity of these passionate emotions can feel like your very soul is on fire

Fever yea I burn forsooth
This intense feeling of feverish passion is so strong, that it can be all-consuming, almost like a disease

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
As depicted in stories such as these, feverish love can transcend all boundaries, including culture and the expectations of society

Had a very mad affair
The raw, unbridled passion of feverish love can make people do and feel things that may be considered beyond reason and sanity

When her daddy tried to kill him
The love that one feels when feverishly passionate can sometimes be challenged and opposed, but that usually only makes the passion burn even brighter

She said "daddy oh don't you dare"
The desire that feverish love creates in people can be so strong that it can lead one to defy even one's own family and society to follow their heart

"He givess me fever with his kisses"
The act of kissing by the object of one's desire can be enough to ignite feverish feelings of passion and love

"Fever when he holds me tight"
Even a simple embrace or hug by the one you love can send your emotions into overdrive, making you feel feverish with desire and passion

"Fever, I'm his misses"
The intensity of feverish love can feel so strong that even the thought of being without the object of desire can be intolerable

"Daddy won't you treat him right?"
Sometimes the feverish passion of love can be so strong that it can shake the very foundation of society, challenging expectations and norms

Now you've listened to my story
By listening to the feverish confessions in this song, you have gained insight into the intensity and power of passionate love

Here's the point that I have made
The point of this song is to illustrate the strength and intensity of feverish passion in romantic relationships

Chicks were born to give you fever
The gender stereotype that women are the ones who exclusively cause and feel such feverish passion is being confronted here, presenting a counter-narrative

Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade
The feverish sensation of love knows no bounds of temperature or measurement, it is simply an all-consuming passion

They give you fever when you kiss them
The act of kissing, in particular, can be the spark that lights the flame of feverish love and desire with the person involved

Fever if you live and learn
The experience of feverish love can be a source of growth and education, but it can also lead to heartbreak and pain

Fever till you sizzle
The intensity of feverish passion can reach a boiling point where it becomes unbearable, yet it also feels incredibly thrilling and exciting

What a lovely way to burn
In spite of the ups and downs of feverish passion, it is ultimately presented as a beautiful and delightful experience, one that is worth the risk and the cost

What a lovely way to burn
The repetition of this phrase at the end of the song serves as a reminder of the beauty and allure of feverish passion, and of the amazing transformative power of love

What a lovely way to burn
This last phrase is repeated three times to emphasize and underscore the central message of the song, and to drive home the appeal and the charm of the feverish sensations of love
