Fever in the morning, heads up in the bay
Sunlight’s nothing on my page
But I don’t think he’s here to stay
Don’t bitter darling, don’t stop breaking up the scene

And don’t you ever talk about
All I could have been
I won’t be waking up from a dream
I won’t be waking up so it seems

I’ll be sad they never told me
Yes, I know, yes I know
The fever was breaking me down long
She’ll never say a word
Or tell her
Down

A place like a diamond
Lift the mama from the ground
Too bad she’s never there
Until she comes to say
She’ll never part from me
And there she goes away

She got me waking up from a dream
She got me waking up so it seems
All things that she never told me
Yes I know, yes I know
The fever was breaking me down long

She got me waking up so it seems
All things that she never told me
All things that she never told me
Yes I know, yes I know
The fever was breaking me down long
Fever was breaking me down
