FEVER
Sarah Vaughan (Adam Freeland Remix) 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 (you give me fever)
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight (you give me fever)
Fever all through the night
Sun lights up the day time
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right
You give me fever (you give me fever)
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight (you give me fever)
Fever in the mornin'
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
(You give me fever)
Baby, turn on your love light (yeah, yeah)
Let it shine on me (yeah, yeah)
Well, baby, turn on your love light (yeah, yeah)
And let it shine on me (yeah, yeah)
Well, just a little bit higher (yeah, yeah)
And just a little bit brighter, baby (yeah, yeah)
You give me fever (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You give me fever (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You give me fever (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You give me fever
The song “Fever” by Sarah Vaughan (Adam Freeland Remix) is an upbeat and sultry tune that describes the intense feelings of love and passion. The lyrics describe how the singer never knew how much she loved and cared for her partner until they embraced and held one another. The act of holding and cuddling causes her to have a fever that is hard to bear. The lyrics convey how the physical touch of her partner causes her to feel feverish all through the night.
The second verse of the song talks about how the singer feels elated and energized when her partner calls her name. The act of her partner treating her right causes her to light up, which is similar to how the sun lights up the daytime and the moon lights up the night. This analogy conveys how the love of her partner lights up her life and makes her feel alive.
The song then goes on to communicate how everybody experiences the fever of love, which is not a new feeling, it has existed for a long time. It ends with the singer asking her partner to turn on the love light and let it shine brighter to keep the fever of their love alive.

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 gives me fever
Ooh, when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever fever fever fever fever
I'm his missus, 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 me fever
When we kiss them
Fever if you live you learn
Fever till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
They give me fever...

I love Sarah's sonorous intonation on this tune. She had one of the richest voices.
@9rexun1
The highest compliment you can pay an artist is to recognize her as unique. Ms. Vaughan was totally unique and head and shoulders above any other vocalist I have ever heard.
@JazzFlop212
God damn... No one does it like Sarah. The perfect vocalist
