Well, things are getting bad now
|
Since your woman left you, just can't do without it
|
The other day you even read a book
|
That tells you how to go about it
|
It says to join an evening class
|
Or hang around in zoos and railway stations
|
And gives you lots of lines to use
|
And how to make the best of situations
|
You know it's just a bunch of crap, you used to do okay
|
But that was long ago and far away
|
|
You got the fever
|
You got the fever
|
You gotta love her
|
And you gotta leave her
|
It's something you can't fight [hey hey hey]
|
Let's call it something polite
|
Like the fever of love
|
Fever of love
|
|
The girls that want you you don't want
|
The girls you want they never seem to want you
|
The girls at work are married
|
And the girls at dances never seem to want to
|
The girls in bars are always with a friend
|
Or waitin' for their new fiance
|
And you tell the barmaid you're just lonely
|
She just smiles and says: "That's what they all say"
|
So you look up some old number you said you'd never use
|
And tell yourself you win instead of lose
|
|
You got the fever
|
You got the fever
|
You gotta love her
|
And you gotta leave her
|
It's something you can't fight [hey hey hey]
|
Let's call it something polite
|
Like the fever of love
|
Fever of love
|
|
You got the fever
|
You got the fever
|
You gotta love her
|
And you gotta leave her
|
It's something you can't fight [hey hey hey]
|
Let's call it something polite
|
Like the fever of love
|
Fever of love
|
