Fever

Why do you have to make me feel the way that you do?
It's like looking at you gives me a fever of a hundred-and-two.
When I hear your voice, it just makes me want you more --
Now my fever's spiked, it's a hundred-and-four.

I get more drunk off of you than I do whiskey or wine...
Boy, what I wouldn't give if I could only make you mine;
You intoxicate me, the thought of you just blows my mind
Why do you have to be so god-damned one-of-a-kind?

You're both obnoxious and modest,
And if I'm being perfectly honest...
I wish that I could deny this overwhelming attraction
But everything you say drives me to distraction.

You either infuriate me or amaze me...
Everything about you seems to drive me crazy;
Don't know how, but you got under my skin...
Now you're the only way that I want to sin.

I want you next to me, inside me, whispering in my ear
I want your body writhing over mine, I fear;
Fill me with your passion, and fill me with your pain
Make the sensory overload drive me a little bit insane.

I hate that you make me feel the way that you do,
Like looking at you gives me a fever of a hundred-and-two...
And I hate that hearing your voice always makes me want you more,
Because then the fever spikes and hits a hundred-and-four.
