Fever
Brown (James) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a feeling that's so hard to bear
You give me fever when you kiss me
And fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
And fever all through the night
Listen to me, baby
Hear ev'ry word I say
No one can love you the way I do
Because they don't know how to love you my way
You give me fever baby, when you kiss me
And fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
And fever all through the night
Bless my soul I love you
Take this ole heart away
And take this arms I'll never use
And just believe in what my lips have to say
You give me fever a-a, when you kiss me
And fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
And fever all through the night
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
My eyes light up when you call James Brown
I know you gonna love me right
Mmh mmh, baby, mmh ...
Oh - no no - oh
My face is wet, my face, my face
My face is wet, yeah, my face is wet ...
Brown (James)'s song Fever is about how the as-of-yet-unidentified person he is singing to gives him an intense feeling, likened in the song to a fever. The opening lines state that Brown's love for this person is often understated - he never knows how much he loves or cares for them until they're in his arms. When they are, however, he gets an overwhelming sensation that's difficult to describe.
The chorus of the song repeats that this person gives Brown a fever when they kiss and hold him. It's an encompassing feeling that lasts throughout the morning and into the night, never truly leaving him. Brown implores this person to hear him out when he says that he loves them like no one else could. He then repeats the chorus, emphasizing the power with which this person affects him.
Finally, Brown proclaims that his love for this person is so strong that he's willing to give up his arms in favor of using his lips to declare how he feels. He repeats the chorus twice more, but with a few alterations, such as saying "when you call James Brown," implying that the person is calling out to him, contributing to the intensity of the feeling.
