Fever
Peggy Lee(페기 리) 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 mornin'
A fever all through the night
Sun lights up the day time
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 mornin'
A fever all through the night
Everybody's got the fever
That is somethin' you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long time ago
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said, "Julie baby you're my flame"
Thou giveth fever, when we kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Fever I'm on fire
Fever yea I burn forsooth
Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said "daddy oh don't you dare"
"He givess me fever with his kisses"
"Fever when he holds me tight"
"Fever, I'm his misses"
"Daddy won't you treat him right?"
Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade
They give you fever when you kiss them
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 Peggy Lee is a classic example of a song that has stood the test of time due to its sultry lyrics and the seductive way in which it is sung. The lyrics begin by talking about how the singer has never truly known how much they love another person until that person has put their arms around them. These lyrics set the tone for the rest of the song, which is all about how the person's love makes the singer feel.
The main theme of the song is "fever," which is a metaphor for the intense passion that the singer feels when they are with this person. The lyrics describe how the singer feels feverish when they are kissed or held tight by the person they love, and how this fever persists throughout the day and night. This fever is not unique to the singer, as the lyrics note that "everybody's got the fever," suggesting that love and passion are universal experiences.
The second half of the song gives some examples of famous love affairs, such as Romeo and Juliet and Captain Smith and Pocahontas. These examples serve to reinforce the idea that love and passion have been around for a long time and are not unique to the present. The song's final message is that women are "born to give you fever," which can be interpreted in a number of ways. One possible interpretation is that the singer is suggesting that women are inherently seductive and alluring, causing men to feel feverish in their presence.
