FEVER
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Yeah, and the feelin' is bright
Let's see the 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
Let's see 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 got higher in my walkin'
And I'm glowin' in the dark
I give you warnin'
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 bright
Let's see the 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
Let's see the night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it
Let's see the night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

Lyrics:
I've been bitten by the Bug and I am coming down with oh
Something that can't be cured
There ain't a doctor in this town who is more qualified than you,
Yeah to be so adored
So tell me what do you prescribe for the symptoms
Heart beating faster and work is a disaster and
I'm lovesick when you're not around
To check me over
Strong hands of healing
I'm dancing on the ceiling
Fever sure has got me good
What you do when fever takes hold?
I can't help but need this drug
Don't you feel the fever like I do?
(Feel the fever)
I am ready for the news so tell me straight-
Hey doctor just what do you diagnose?
There ain't a surgeon like you any place in all the world
So now, shall I remove my clothes?
So tell me what do you prescribe for the symptoms
Heart beating faster and work is a disaster and
I'm lovesick when you're not around
To check me over
Strong hands of healing
I'm dancing on the ceiling
Fever sure has got me good
What you do when fever takes hold?
I can't help but need this drug
Don't you feel the fever like I do?
Fever sure has got me good
What'cha do when fever takes hold?
I can't help but need this drug
Don't you feel the fever like I do?
Fever
So tell me what do you prescribe for the symptoms
Heart beating faster and work is a disaster and
I'm lovesick when you're not around
To check me over
Strong hands of healing
I'm dancing on the ceiling
Fever sure has got me good
What you do when fever takes hold ?
I can't help but need this drug
Don't you feel the fever like I do?
Fever fever
I can't help but need this drug
Don't you feel the fever like I do?
Feel the fever

Such a good album. So many bops. And it still holds up after all these years. Iconic
@Purpetratorz
in retrospect, it hits even harder now than it did back then! I appreciate this soooo much more than I did as a kid!
@mattmorganflash
This album and Aaliyah’s 2001 self titled album were soo ahead of their time. I go back to listen to them both and they still hold up to today’s music, almost 20 years later. Aaliyah, Queen of urban Pop. Kylie Minogue, Queen of disco Pop.
@ericadacosta6992
Yup, well said. I always said that Aaliyah's were yaaaaay ahead of her time
@skurinski
dance pop not disco pop
@igorsutak
No lie detected. Fever is one of my fave albums by Kylie!
@ShawnPhelpsVlog
Pure pop GOLD. This is the pop music that we all love pop for. Ohhhh if ever she does a random throwback music video for a song, please let it be this one.
@izoyt
throwback music eu tour would be even better..
@dermor18
Shawn Phelps or Burnin Up
@himlingalant3467
