"Fever" lyrics

You've had me since the day we met
But I'm still hanging on
Even though we got a long way to go
You never steered me wrong

Like a dog getting after a bone
You'll never shake me loose
Before you I was all alone
Just making room for the blues

But then you came and turned my world upside down
I'm feeling dizzy, I don't no one else around
You might be thinking that I'm maybe getting kind of sick
'Cause this fever just won't quit

Oh, no

I got a fever, the only prescription is you
It's true
Somebody retrieve her, I won't last a minute or two
It's true, I'm needing you

Always ran just a little hot
Even before we met
Then you walk in with what you got
And I'm drowning in sweat

I'm calling mama 'cause I don't feel well
I tried to hide it from her but even she could tell
You got a loving that can make a grown man sick
And this fever just won't quit

I got a fever, the only prescription is you
It's true
Somebody retrieve her, I won't last a minute or two
It's true, I'm needing you

Call the preacher and my next of kin
No way of knowing if you'll ever see me back again
Call my baby, tell her get here quick
'Cause this fever just won't quit

I got a fever, the only prescription is you
It's true
Somebody retrieve her, I won't last a minute or two
It's true

I got a fever, the only prescription is you
It's true
Somebody retrieve her, I won't last a minute or two
It's true, I'm needing you

Needing you
