FEVER
Rigmor Gustafsson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never know how much I love you
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
Fever all through the night

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

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said 'Julie, baby, you're my flame

You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

Captain Smith and Pocahantas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said 'Daddy, oh, don't you dare'

'Cause he gives me fever when he kiss me
Fever when he holds me tight




Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rigmor Gustafsson's "Fever" are simple but effective. The song is all about the passionate feelings that can arise between two people when they're in each other's arms. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been holding back her feelings for her partner, and has only just realized how much she cares for them. This sets the stage for the rest of the song, which is all about the intense sensations that come with physical intimacy.


The chorus is the heart of "Fever," and it sums up the emotions that the singer is experiencing. When her partner kisses her or holds her tight, she feels a feverish heat that's almost overwhelming. This fever doesn't just happen at night, either - it's with her all the time, from morning until bedtime. The second verse continues the metaphor of the heat of the sun and moon, which pales in comparison to the intensity of the singer's feelings for her partner.


The final two verses use famous stories to highlight the power of love and attraction. Romeo and Juliet and Pocahontas and Captain Smith both had intense relationships that defied convention and even common sense. Their stories serve as further proof that when two people are drawn together, the heat and passion can be almost too much to bear.


Overall, "Fever" is a song that celebrates the physical and emotional power of love. The lyrics are straightforward but effective, relying on evocative metaphors to capture the intense sensations that come with physical intimacy. The upbeat rhythm and catchy melody make it a great song for dancing or just enjoying with a loved one.
