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, oh I can't get no sleep

So I turn on my 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

'Cause my love grows stronger

And the fever gets worse

And I've got the fever for this girl



CHORUS

Got the fever, oh I've got the fever

Nothing that a po' boy can do

When he's got the fever for this girl

Got the fever, oh I've got the fever

Left this little boy blue



I can remember comin' home

See you standin' at the stove

With the dishes on the table

Dinner ready to go

We'll maybe go out to a movie show

Something that you like to see

Well now you are my sun in the morning

And my moon at night

I think about you baby

I feel alright

Now my days grow longer

'Cause my love grows stronger

And the fever gets worse

And I've got the fever for this girl



CHORUS
