Fever

Fever (by Eddie Cooley and John Davenport) 

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 mornin'

Fever all through the night

 Sun lights up the day time

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 mornin'

Fever all through the night

Everybody's got the fever

That is somethin' we all know

Fever isn't such a new thing

Fever started long ago, you give me fever

Romeo loved Juliet

Juliet she felt the same

When he put his arms around her

He said, "Julie baby you're my flame"

Thou givest fever, when we kisseth

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever I'm on fire

Fever yea I burn forsooth

Captain 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 when he kisses"

"Fever when he holds me tight"

"Fever, I'm his missus"

"Daddy won't you treat him right?"

Now you know how much I love you

Now you know how much I care

I was born to give you fever

Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade

I give you fever when I kiss you

Fever when I hold you tight

Fever in the morning

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

In this cover, I tried to follow the time of Peggy Lee but the vibe of Lalah Hathaway; lyrics have been revised according to my personal likes. Jazz sounds different every time one makes it. I like this one the best but always look forward to the next one.

The part about Captain Smith and Pocahontas (Mataoka) is historically inaccurate. Mataoka likely saved John Smith, but was probably "playing her assigned role in the ritual" since "the execution [of Captain Smith] was probably a ritual staged by Wahunsenacawh [her father] to establish authority over Smith" (Mann, 1491, p. 55).

Besides, she wasn't in love with Smith but (again probably) with John Rolfe whom she later wedded and followed to England. Also, she would probably never DARE say that to her father, the chief of the village, since her father actually refused to ransom her. That's why she stayed in the colony of Jamestown and married Rolfe (Mann, 1493, pp. 84-85).
