Fever
The Cramps Lyrics

No one knows how much I love you
The overpowering degree of love I have for you is only known to me

No one knows how much I care
The extent of my care for you is only known to myself

But when you put your arms around me, I get a feeling that's hard to bear
I experience a sensation that is difficult to tolerate when you embrace me

You give me fever when you kiss me
When we kiss, I experience an intense sensation or passion

Fever when you hold me tight
An intense feeling or emotion takes control over me when you hold me tight

Fever in the morning
I feel feverish with passion in the morning

Fever all through the night
I experience continuous and unrelenting passion or desire throughout the night

Sun lights up the daytime
The visible light that appears in the sky during the day is initiated by the sun

Moon lights up the night
The light that is visible in the sky during the night originates from the moon

I light up when you call my name
My face shines with happiness when you address me by my name

Cause I know you're gonna treat me right
I am confident that you will treat me with kindness and respect

Captain Smith and Pocahontas had a very mad affair
Captain Smith and Pocahontas were involved in a relationship full of wild passion

When her daddy tried to kill him, she said, 'Daddy, oh, don't you dare'
Pocahontas strongly objected when her father tried to harm Captain Smith

He gives me fever, with his kisses
When he kisses me, I experience an intense feeling of passion or attraction

Fever when he holds me tight
My body is overwhelmed with feeling when he holds me in his arms

Fever I'm his missus
He is my husband and I experience an overpowering feeling of attraction or passion toward him

So Daddy won't you treat him right
Pocahontas is asking her father to treat Captain Smith with kindness and respect

Everybody's got the fever
A strong feeling of desire or passion is something that everybody experiences

That is something we all know
It is common knowledge that everyone experiences feverish desire or passion

Fever isn't such a new thing
The concept of feverish desire or passion isn't new or novel

Fever Started long ago
The idea of experiencing intense passion or desire has been present for a long time

Romeo loved Juliet
Romeo had an intense feeling of passion or attraction toward Juliet

Juliet she felt the same
Juliet reciprocated Romeo's feelings of passion or attraction

When he put his arms around her, he said, 'Julie, baby, you're my flame'
When Romeo embraced her, he expressed his deep feelings of passion or desire for her

Well, now you've listened to my story
Having heard my tale, you now understand my perspective

Here's the point that I have made
This is the main point I was trying to convey

The Cramps were born to give you fever
Our band was formed to evoke powerful emotions or feelings of passion in our listeners

Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
Our music can produce a feverish feeling in you regardless of the measurement system used

We give you fever when we rock you
Our music has the power to instill deep feelings of excitement or passion within you

Fever 'till you live and learn
The sensation of passion or desire that our music evokes will persist until you gain more knowledge or experience

Fever 'till you sizzle
You will continue to feel feverish with desire or passion until the feeling becomes overwhelming and intense

But What a lovely way to burn
Despite the intensity of the feeling, the experience of intense passion or desire can be highly pleasurable

What a lovely way to burn
Experiencing the sensation of feverish desire or passion can be highly enjoyable

What a lovely way to burn
The feeling of being overcome with passion or desire can be highly enticing and pleasurable

What a lovely way to burn
The experience of feeling feverish with passion or desire is highly seductive and pleasurable

What a lovely way to burn
Feeling overcome with passion or desire can be highly appealing and pleasurable
