Fever
Adam Lambert Lyrics

There he goes
The singer is referring to the person they desire.

My baby walks so slow
The desired person moves in a way that seems sensual to the singer.

Sexual tic-tac-toe
The game of flirtation and seduction between the singer and desired person.

Yeah, I know we both know It isn't time
The artist and desired person know that their relationship is not yet appropriate or well-timed.

But could you be m-mine
The artist is expressing their desire to be in a romantic relationship with the desired person.

We'll never get too far
The singer does not anticipate a serious long-term relationship with the desired person.

Just you, me and the bar
The singer imagines a casual liaison with the desired person.

Silly "menage a trois" sometimes
The artist is referencing a sexual encounter with three people, but indicates that this is not meant to be taken seriously.

Would you be mine [Repeat x3]
The artist repeats their desire for the desired person to be in a romantic relationship with them.

Oh baby, lights on But your mom's not home I'm sick of laying down alone hey
The artist suggests having sex with the desired person while they have the opportunity.

With this fever, fever, yeah My one and own I wanna get you alone Give you a fever, fever yeah
The singer expresses their desire to have sex with the desired person and make them feel passionate.

There it goes You stole my soul and so Cause, sweetheart A-no-no-nobody a-no-no-knows
The artist expresses how they feel about the desired person and how it is a secret.

They're occupied Time to be m-mine
The singer indicates that someone else has the desired person's attention, but still wants to be with them.

Let's get inside your car Just you, me and the stars Kind of menage à trois sometimes Would he be mine [Repeat x3]
The singer suggests being intimate with the desired person in a private location.

Yeah, yeah, yeah [Repeat x7]
Repeating a phrase to express excitement and passion.

Oh baby, your light's on But your mom's not home I'm sick of laying down alone (ooh) With this fever, fever, yeah My one and own I wanna get you alone (ooh) Give you a fever, fever, yeah
Repeating the desire to be intimate with the desired person and make them feel passionate.

(Ooh) Give you fever fever fever yeah Fever, fever, yeah
Repeating the chorus and expressing excitement and desire.
