[Verse 1: Ray Charles]

Never knew how much I love you, never knew 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

[Verse 2: Natalie Cole]

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

[Verse 3: Ray Charles]

Everybody's got the fever, that is something that you should know

Fever isn't such a new thing, fever started long ago

[Verse 4: Natalie Cole, Ray Charles & Both]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

Tell them about it

Romeo loved Juliet

Juliet she felt the same

When he put his arms around her

He said "Julie baby you're my flame"

Thou givest fever

Fever, fever, fever, yeah

When we kisseth

Fever with thy flaming youth

Oh fever

I'm afire, I’m afire

Fever yeah, I burn forsooth

[Verse 5: Natalie Cole]

Captain Smith and Pocahontas had a very bad affair

But when her daddy tried to kill him, she said "Daddy, daddy don't you dare"

He gives me fever

With his kisses

Fever when he holds me tight

Fever, I'm his missus

Oh, daddy won't you treat him right

[Verse 6: Ray Charles, Natalie Cole]

Now you've heard our story (Oh, it's your story)

Here's the point we have made (I'm listening)

Chicks were born to give you fever (that's right)

Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade

They give you fever (Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)

When you kiss them (Uh, babe, uh, uh, uh)

Fever if you live and learn

Fever, Fever

Till you sizzle (Fever)

What a lovely way to burn

[Verse 7: Ray Charles, Natalie Cole & Both]

Aha, what a lovely way to burn (Yeah)

I tell you, what a lovely way to burn

(Oh we, oh we) Alright now, what a lovely way to burn (bub be dub be dub be)

I like that, what a lovely way to burn

He he he he

(You ain't right, Ray)
