The Fever

Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

When I get home from my job,

I turn on my TV

But I can't keep my mind on the show

When I lay down at night,

I don't get no sleep

So I turn on the radio

But lord, the only thing I hear

Is you whisp'rin' in my ear

Them words that you used to say

Well now the days grow longer,

My love grows stronger

And the fever gets worse every day

I got the fever for this girl



He's got the fever, oh he's got the fever,

Nothing that a boy can do

When he's got the fever for a girl

He's got the fever, oh he's got the fever

Left this little boy blue



I can remember coming home,

See you standing at the stove

With the dishes on the table,

Dinner ready to go

Well maybe out to a movie show

Something that you like to see

Because you were my sun in the morning,

You were my moon at night

When I think about you, makes me feel alright

Well now the days grow longer,

The love just grows stronger

And the fever gets so bad at night



He's got the fever, oh he's got the fever,

Nothing that a boy can do

When he's got the fever for a girl

He's got the fever, oh he's got the fever

Left this little boy blue

All right
