Fever

Ella Fitzgerald

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.

Everybodys got the Fever
That is something you all know
Fever is such a nuisance
Fever started long ago.

Romeo loved Julliet
Julliet she felt the same
But when he put his arms around her
He said Julie baby you're my flame
I'll give you Fever.....when you kiss me
Fever when I flame in you
Fever.....I'm on fire
Fever, yea I burn for you

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
But when her daddy tried to kill him
She said Daddy oh don't you dare
He gives 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 fair and hide or sandy grey
They give you Fever...when you kiss them
Fever when you live and learn
Fever....till you're sizzlin'
But what a lovely way to burn.

    General CommentIt isn't "Fever is such a nuisance" it's "Fever ain't such a new thing" and later, instead of "be it fair and hide or sandy gray" it's "Be it fahreinheit or centigrade"

    General Commentoh, and the verse about romeo and juliet: "Thou givest fever, when you kisseth, fever with thy flaming youth. Fever- I'm a fire, fever yea I burn forsooth."

    General CommentIt really saddens me on how few posts there are about Ella. Her passion and confidence far surpasses any other female artist. She was a pioneer for every genre of music our ears recieve today.

    General CommentI agree also but i guess 17 year olds aren't in to Ella, Miles Davis and billie holiday. It's really not fair. But i'm glad i'm different and unique and i guess you all to. Jazz forever.

    General CommentIf you have a juvenile sense of humour like me, great fun can be had by changing the word "fever" for "beaver" in this song:

    "You give me beaver - when you kiss me
    Beaver when you hold me tight
    Beaver in the morning
    Beaver all through the night."

    or

    "Now you've listened to my story
    Here's the point that I have made
    Chicks were born to give you beaver
    Be it fair and hide or sandy grey"

    Hee hee hee.

    General CommentThis song is meant to be sung with pure sex in the voice. It is sooooooo Sexy and so wonderful to listen to. It requires alot of confidence and sexuality to sing the song but if sung write this song can be smoldering.
