When I get home from my job

I turn on my T.V.

But I can't keep my mind on the show

When I lay down at night

I can't get no sleep

So I turn on the radio

But, the only sound I hear

Is you whisperin' in my ear

The words that you used to say

Now my days grow longer

As my love grows stronger

And the fever gets worse and

I got a fever for a girl

I got the fever

Oh, I got the fever

There ain't nothing that a poor boy can do

When he's got the fever for a girl

I got the fever

Oh, I got the fever

Well, you left this little boy

I can remember comin' home

I see you standin' at the stove

With the dishes on the table

Dinner ready to go

Or maybe on out to a movie show

Something that you'd like to see

Oh, baby, you're my sun in the morning

And my moon at night

I think about you, baby

I feel alright

Days grow longer

As my love grows stronger

And the fever gets worse and

I've got the fever for the girl

I got the fever

Oh, I got the fever

There ain't nothing that a poor boy can do

When he's got the fever for a girl

Got the fever

Oh, I got the fever

Yea, you left this little boy blue

I can remember comin' home

I see you standin' at the stove

With the dishes on the table

Dinner ready to go

Or maybe on out to a movie show

Something that you'd like to see

Oh, baby, you're my sun in the morning

And my moon at night

I think about you, baby

I feel alright

Days grow longer

Love grows stronger

And the fever gets worse and

I've got the fever for the girl

I got the fever

Oh, I got the fever

There ain't nothing, there ain't nothin' I can do

When he's got the fever for a girl

Got the fever

Oh, I got the fever

Left this little boy blue, well

Sure left this little boy blue

There ain't nothin' I can do

Oh, I've got the fever, baby

Baby please come home

I don't wanna be alone

I got the fever for you, girl
