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
