You Got The Fever Lyrics - Joe Jackson

Well, things are getting bad now 

Since your woman left you, just can't do without it 

The other day you even read a book 

That tells you how to go about it 

It says to join an evening class 

Or hang around in zoos and railway stations 

And gives you lots of lines to use 

And how to make the best of situations 

You know it's just a bunch of crap, you used to do okay 

But that was long ago and far away 

[Chorus:] 

You got the fever 

You got the fever 

You gotta love her 

And you gotta leave her 

It's something you can't fight [hey hey hey] 

Let's call it something polite 

Like the fever of love 

Fever of love 

The girls that want you you don't want 

The girls you want they never seem to want you 

The girls at work are married 

And the girls at dances never seem to want to 

The girls in bars are always with a friend 

Or waitin' for their new fiancé 

And you tell the barmaid you're just lonely 

She just smiles and says: "That's what they all say" 

So you look up some old number you said you'd never use 

And tell yourself you win instead of lose 

[Chorus:] 

[Chorus:]
