Takeoff of Fever, specifically the one sung by Eva Cassidy, written at midnight on holiday. Wasn't originally going to be a takeoff, but I wrote the first verse, hummed it and somehow the chorus from Fever attached itself and wouldn't leave, whereupon I gave in and just wrote the whole thing.
My baby don't know I love him,
My baby don't know I care
But whenever my baby should need me,
Heaven knows I'll be right there
He gives me fever,
When he's smiling,
Fever when he hugs me tight
Fever when we’re together
Fever in my dreams all night

I love him all the time I’m with him
I love him when he isn’t there
I know I should tell him I love him
But the truth is that I just don’t dare
He gives me fever
When I miss him
Fever when he’s standing right there
Fever ‘cause he don’t know I love him
Such a fever I’ve got heat to spare

I can’t tell my baby I love him
‘Cause he and his girl don’t want to end
But until fate should part them
God knows I’m happy just to be his friend
A friend with fever
‘Cause I love him
Fever ‘cause I need him now
Fever though I try to be patient
I’ve got fever for him anyhow

He gives me fever
When he’s laughing
Fever every time he smiles
Fever, ‘cause when I get upset
Somehow he makes it all worthwhile
You give me fever
Oh yeah
You give me fever
Oh yeah
Fever all through the night…
Anyone know how to end it better, please tell me.
Not lovesick. Not at all.
