I’ve been feelin’ funny
Shakin’ like a leaf
I don’t know what’s wrong
But something’s strong
Sure got a hold on me.

Sun lights up my morning
Moon lights up my night
And I light up when
Your name comes up
I feel all funny inside.

I got a sweet fever
Comin’ all over me
I got a sweet fever
I wonder what can it be?

I don’t know what happens
But you come walking by
I can’t speak
My knees get weak
I feel half paralysed.

My temperature keeps rising
My head is feeling light
I sing love songs
All day long
I toss and turn all night.

I got a sweet fever
Comin’ all over me
I got a sweet fever
I wonder what can it be?

I got a sweet fever
Comin’ all over me
I got a sweet fever
I wonder what can it be?

I got a sweet fever
Comin’ all over me
I got a sweet fever
I wonder what can it be?..
