Origineel
When I get home from my job I turn on my TV
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
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 coming home
See you standing 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
Vertaling
Als ik thuis kom van mijn werk zet ik mijn TV aan
But I can't keep my mind on the show
Als ik 's nachts ga liggen, oh, kan ik niet slapen
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
Nu worden mijn dagen langer
'Cause my love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse
And I've got the fever for this girl
Kreeg de koorts, oh, ik heb de koorts
Nothing that a po' boy can do
When he've got the fever for this girl
Got the fever, oh, I've got the fever
Left this little boy blue
I can remember coming home
See you standing at the stove
With the dishes on the table
Dinner ready to go
We gaan misschien naar een filmvoorstelling
Iets dat je graag ziet
Nou nu ben je mijn zon in de ochtend
En mijn maan 's nachts
I think about you baby
Ik voel me goed
Now my days grow longer
'Cause my love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse
And I've got the fever for this girl
