Nev er know how much I love you,

You give me fev er

Fev er

fev er all (E7)through the (Am)night.

Sun er lights how up the day time,

moon er lights how up the night.

I you light your up when you call my name, I and you (E7)know I’m gon na treat you (Am)right.

You give me fev er

when you kiss me, (F6)fev er when you hold me (Am)tight.

Fev er

fev er all (E7)through the (Am)night.

(Am)night.

Ev ’ry bo dy’s got the fev er, that is some thing you all know.

Fev er is n’t such a new thing, (E7)fev er start ed long a (Am)go.
