Fever
Hildegard Knef 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 fever that's so hard to bear.
You give me fever when you kiss me,
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever in the morning,
Sun lights up the daytime,
Moon lights up the night.
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right.
You give me fever when you kiss me,
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever in the morning,
Fever all through the night.
Ev'rybody's got the fever that is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing, fever started long ago.
Romeo loved Juliet, Juliet she felt the same.
When he put his arms around her
He said, Julie-Baby, you're my flame.
I'll give us fever when we kiss us,
Fever with that flaming youth.
Fever, I'm on fire, fever yeah, I burn for sooth.
Captain Smith and Pocahontas had a very mad affair
When her Daddy tried to kill him,
She said: "Daddy, oh don't you dare"
You give me fever â€" with his kisses,
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever I'm his Missus,
Daddy won't you treat him right.
Now you've listened to my story,
Here's the point I have made:
Chicks were gonna give you fever,
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
They give you fever when you kiss 'em,
Fever if you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle,
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
The song "Fever" by Hildegard Knef is a classic love song about being so deeply in love with someone that it creates an intense physical response, like a fever. The song is about the physical and emotional effects of love and the way that it can consume us.
The lyrics describe how the singer, when in the arms of her lover, becomes overwhelmed with emotion and sensation, feeling a fever that is so hard to bear. The chorus repeats the idea of fever and how it's present both in the morning and at night. The second verse takes a more poetic approach, describing the sun lighting up the daytime and the moon the night, but asserting that the person singing only lights up when their lover calls their name.
The third verse tells stories of historical figures, using them to emphasize the idea that love, and the fever it creates, is not a new concept. The final verse brings everything full circle, stating that love, in all its forms, will always give us fever.
Overall, "Fever" is a powerful love song that highlights the physical and emotional effects of love in a unique and captivating way.
