Night Fever
A.M.P. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen to the ground
There is movement all around
There is something goin' down
And I can feel it

On the waves of the air
There is dancin' out there
If it's somethin' we can share

We can steal it

And that sweet city woman
She moves through the light
Controlling my mind and my soul
When you reach out for me
Yeah, and the feelin' is right

Then I get night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

Here I am
Prayin' for this moment to last
Livin' on the music so fine
Borne on the wind
Makin' it mine

Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

In the heat of our love
Don't need no help for us to make it
Gimme just enough to take us to the mornin'
I got fire in my mind
I get higher in my walkin'
And I'm glowin' in the dark
I give you warnin'

And that sweet city woman
She moves through the night
Controlling my mind and my soul
When you reach out for me
Yeah, and the feelin' is right

Then I get night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

Here I am
Prayin' for this moment to last
Livin' on the music so fine
Borne on the wind
Makin' it mine

Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to do it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song Night Fever by A.M.P is an upbeat and energetic celebration of the nightlife. The song begins with the singer feeling the pulsating rhythm of the ground and sensing some action brewing around. Moving to the next line, he hears the waves of the air, which seem to be communicating a sense of joy that is more than just personal. It is something that can be shared and consequently stolen in the spirit of conviviality.

The next lines mention a "sweet city woman" who moves through the light and controls the singer's mind and soul. This woman is a metaphor for the forces of the nightclub scene that take hold of people so they can completely lose themselves in the music and dance. When the singer reaches out and the feeling is right, he gets "night fever," i.e., an overwhelming desire to party, dance and enjoy life to the fullest. The chorus repeats the sentiment with the addition of the lines "We know how to do it/ Gimme that night fever, night fever/ We know how to show it."

The second and last verse emphasizes the power of the love shared by the singer and his partner on the dance floor. They do not need any external help to make things happen for them. They are enough for themselves, and the rhythm of the music is enough to take them through the night, fueling their passion and energy. The song ends with more lines repeating the chorus - a call to revel in the night fever!
