"Fever" - Peggy Lee
I could spend this day sad because this time I won't get a heart-shaped balloon. I could call in sick and stay home in bed like I did all weekend. I could ignore this damn Hallmark holiday and pretend it doesn't bug me just a little. I could, but nah.
It's funny because it never was a big deal before. A dinner there, maybe a last-minute gift here, but the romance was somehow missing. I was always looking for that unexpected surprise, like a bouquet of tulips greeting me in the morning. But that only happened once. I guess it's better knowing for sure that nothing will happen vs. hoping for that certain something that just never quite repeated itself.
This is why I chose a song that would gimme a bit more oomph! I crave this. Come to think of it, it ain't so bad being single because now I can go out and get it. I may not get balloons, flowers or chocolates, but at least I won't get disappointed expecting them either.
Lyrics:
Never know how much I love you,
Never know 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.
Sun lights up the daytime
And 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,
And fever all through the night
Everybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her he said,
"Julie, Baby , you're my flame
"Thou giveth fever
"When we kisseth
"Fever with thy flaming youth
"Fever! I'm afire,
"Fever, yeah, I burn, forsooth."
Cap'in Smith and Pocahontas had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said,
"Daddy, oh, don't you dare!
"He gives me fever
"With his kisses
"Fever when he holds me tight
"Fever! I'm his missus, So
"Daddy, Won't you treat him right?"
Now you've listened to my story,
Here's the point that I have made:
Chicks were born to give you fever,
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
They give you fever
When you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever! 'till you sizzle
what a lovely way to burn
what a lovely way to burn
what a lovely way to burn
what a lovely way to burn
