Lyrics The Fever (Studio Outtake - 1973) - Bruce Springsteen

Alright

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, I don't get no sleep
So I turn on the radio

But Lord the only thing I hear is you whisperin' in my ear
The words that you used to say
Well now the days grow longer
My love grows stronger
The fever gets worse every day

I got the fever for this girl
(He's got the fever)
(Oh, he's got the fever)
Nothing that a boy can do
(When he's got the fever for a girl)
(He's got the fever)
(Oh, he's got the fever)
Left this little boy blue

Well I can remember comin' home
See you standin' at the stove
With the dishes on the table
Dinner ready to go
Well maybe out to a movie show
Something that you'd like to see
Because you were my sun in the morning

You were my moon at night
When I think about, makes me feel alright
Well, now the days grow longer
And my love just grows stronger, oh baby
And the fever gets so bad at night

I got the fever for the girl
(He's got the fever)
(Oh, he's got the fever)
Nothing that a boy can do
(When he's got the fever for a girl)
(He's got the fever)
(Oh, he's got the fever)
Left this little boy blue

Ooh, gonna be alright
Ooh, gonna be alright (bring it all right)
Ooh, gonna be alright (bring it all right)
Ooh, gonna be alright (just bring it all right)

Well I can remember comin' home turning on my TV
(But he can't keep his mind on the show)
When I lay down at night, I cannot get no sleep
So I turn on the radio

But still the only thing I hear is you whisperin' in my ear
My words that you used to say
And now the days grow longer
And the love just grows stronger
And the fever gets bad every day

I got the fever for this girl
(He's got the fever)
(Oh, he's got the fever)
Nothing a boy can do
(When he's got the fever for a girl)
(He's got the fever)
(Oh, he's got the fever)
Left this little boy blue
Oh alright

(He's got the fever)
(Oh, he's got the fever)
Nothing a boy can do
(When he's got the fever for a girl)
(He's got the fever)
(Oh, he's got the fever)
Left this little boy blue

Ooh, gonna be alright (alright)
Ooh, gonna be alright (everybody)
Ooh, gonna be alright (everybody)
Ooh, gonna be alright
Ooh, gonna be alright (alright)
Ooh, gonna be alright (hey, mama)
Ooh, gonna be alright (alright now)
Ooh, gonna be alright
