Every year when
Spring rolls around
My lonely heart
Falls to the ground
I\'m glad I found
A little girl like you
I\'ve got spring fever
In love with you
You got the charm
To really make me flip
I looked at you
And the lovebug bit
I\'m glad I found
A little girl like you
I\'ve got spring fever
In love with you
We\'ll have a ball
When school is through
I got a million things
That we can do
At the beach
We\'ll have a real good time
I\'ll show you off cause you\'re
Mine, mine, mine, mine
I hope and pray that
When the summer\'s gone
Our time together
Will go on and on
We\'ll do the little
Things we usually do
We\'ll have spring fever
The whole year through
Spring fever, in love with you
Dooby dooby dooby do do do
Spring fever, in love with you
Dooby dooby dooby do do do

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
And 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
And fever all through the night
Everybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago
Romeo loved Juliette
Juliette 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 afire
Fever, yeah, I burn, forsooth
Cap'in 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
With his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his misses
So 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
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
And 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

Fever when you hold me tight
Fever, in the morning

Yeah, when you touch my hand and talk sweet talk
I got a knockin' in my knees, and a wobblin' in my walk
And I'm tremblin'
That's right, you got me shakin'
When you take me in your arms and talk romance
My heart starts doing that St. Rita dance
And I'm bendin'
Ohh and I'm shakin'
Early in the morning time
Late in the middle of the night
Whenever this chill comes over me
I wanna hug you with all of my might
That's right and I'm sweatin'
Oh, yeah you got me shakin'
Mmm, you got me sweatin'
Ohh, yeah you got me shakin' girl
A chill and a fever, so I've been told
Makes your head spin around and your feet run cold
I got fever, yeah
Fever, yeah, I burn for sure
I feel like I've been run right through the mill
And I can't move around and I can't stand still
I'm Bo Diddley
Oh, you got me shakin'
I'm so jittery
That's right, you got me shakin'
Well Samson was a mighty good man
Strongest in his day
(Then along came Delilah and clipped his wing)
And it looks like you took me the same old way
So I'm nervous
Oh and I'm shakin'
Alright, you got me nervous
Yeah I'm shakin' and jumpin'
A storm rocks a ship on a sea (A storm rocks a ship on a sea)
The wind shakes the leaves on a tree (The wind shakes the leaves on a tree)
And I'm a nervous wreck and I'm all shook up
And that's what you're doin' to me right now
And I'm jumpin'
That's right, you got me shakin'
Ohh and I'm jumpin'
That's right, you got me shakin'
Ohh, you got me shakin'
That's right, you got me nervous
But now I'm shakin'
Ohh, you got me shakin'

Let them talk if they want to
Talk don't bother me
I want the whole wide world to know
That I love you so
Let them whisper
For they know not what's
Between you and I
I'll keep on loving you
Until the day I die
They're tryin' to breakup our romance
But they don't have a chance
We have the kind of love
That's so strong
We'll be together from now on
Idle gossip comes from the devil's workshop
But true love will make it stop
I want the whole wide world to know
That I love you so
They're envious of ev'rything we do
But it's so wonderful (wonderful)
When you love some one (love someone)
When that someone loves you.
Talk don't bother me
I want the whole wide world to know

I need someone's hand, to lead me through the night
I need someone arms to hold and squeeze me tight
When the night begins an' the dew remains
I need your love so bad
I need some lips to feel next to mine
I need someone to stand up an' tell me, when I'm lyin'
When the lights are low, an' it's time to go
I need your love so bad
So give it up an' bring it home to me
Or write it on a paper, so it can be read to me
Tell me you love me an' stop drivin' me mad
'Cause I need your love so bad
I need a soft voice that will talk to me at night
Don't worry baby, we won't fuss an' fight
Listen to my plea, bring it home to me
I need your love so bad
Ooh, I need your love so bad

The very thought of you
I forget to do
Those little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do
I'm livin' in a kind of a daydream
I'm happy as a queen
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know
How slow the moments go
Till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
