(B. Springsteen)

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
I can’t get no sleep
So I turn on the 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
As my love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse and

I got a fever for a girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain’t nothing that a poor boy can do
When he’s got the fever for a girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
Well, you left this little boy

I can remember comin’ home
I see you standin’ at the stove
With the dishes on the table
Dinner ready to go
Or maybe on out to a movie show
Something that you’d like to see
Oh, baby, you’re my sun in the morning
And my moon at night
I think about you, baby
I feel alright
Days grow longer
As my love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse and

I’ve got the fever for the girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain’t nothing that a poor boy can do
When he’s got the fever for a girl
Got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
Yea, you left this little boy blue

I can remember comin’ home
I see you standin’ at the stove
With the dishes on the table
Dinner ready to go
Or maybe on out to a movie show
Something that you’d like to see
Oh, baby, you’re my sun in the morning
And my moon at night
I think about you, baby
I feel alright
Days grow longer
Love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse and

I’ve got the fever for the girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain’t nothing, there ain’t nothin’ I can do
When he’s got the fever for a girl
Got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
Left this little boy blue, well

Sure left this little boy blue
There ain’t nothin’ I can do
Oh, I’ve got the fever, baby
Baby please come home
I don’t wanna be alone
I got the fever for you, girl

He's got a split finger wrap
And his rope's pulled way to tight
He's got a lunatic smile
'Cause he's really drawn deep tonight.

He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Grab a hold of anything and hold on tight;
It hits you like the venom from a rattle snake bite
We're all here 'cause he's not all there tonight.

He takes one last breath
And time turns inside out
Then the gate busts open to the world he dreams about.

He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Stick a rope on anything 'cause he don't care
He'd even take a ride in an electric chair
We're all here cause he's not all there tonight.

He says it's really kind of simple
Keep your mind in the middle
While your butt spins 'round and 'round
Take heed to Sankey's preachin'
Keep liftin' and reachin'
And ridin' like there ain't no clowns.

What he loves might kill him
But he's got no choice
He's a different breed
With a voice down deep inside
That's screamin' he was born to ride.

He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Fever makes you crazy 'cause it makes no sense
Like runnin' from your shadow out of self-defense
He won't run and baby he can't hide
He thinks the odds are even leavin' one hand tied
He gets so tired of hangin' on so tight
I know you think he's crazy well I think you're right
We're all here 'cause he's not all there that's right.

She don't know what she's talking about
Yeah, she's running on empty
She an't sing, she just screams and shouts
Yeah, she's running on empty

She can't feel for the second choosing
To live her life without you
She'd be the one to - she'd be the one to
Try and find what I'm after

B. She don't know what she's talking about
Yeah, she can't sing, she just screams and shouts

C. He thinks it's easy
But it's not easy
Because without him
My heart is empty

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

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
I can’t get no sleep
So I turn on the 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
As my love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse and

I got a fever for a girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain’t nothing that a poor boy can do
When he’s got the fever for a girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever

I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain’t nothing, there ain’t nothin’ I can do
When he’s got the fever for a girl
Got the fever

There ain’t nothin’ I can do
Oh, I’ve got the fever, baby
Baby please come home
I don’t wanna be alone
I got the fever for you, girl
