Bless my soul I love youOn "Nightfood" Bob Weir sings the following additional verses:
Bless my soul I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a feeling that's so hard to bear
Chorus
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night
Listen to me baby
Hear every word I say
No one gonna love you the way I do
'Cause they don't know how to love you my way
[Chorus]
Sun lights up the day time
Moon lights up the night
My eyes light up when you call my name
'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right
[Chorus]
King bee loves his honey
Queen bee feels the same
Ain't no queen who's honey's sweeter
And you know it drives me quite insane
[Chorus]
Sun lights up the day time
Moon lights up the night
My eyes light up when you call my name
'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right
[Chorus]
Fever all through the night
Gimme fever all through
All through
Fever all through
Gimme fever, gimme fever
Fever all through
Fever all through
Gimme fever
Gimme fever
Gimme fever
Gimme fever
[etc]
Everybody's got the fever
This is something we all know
Fever in a run down shack
Fever in an old chateau
Bless my soul I love you
Take this heart away
Take these arms I never use
Just believe in what my lips have to say
They give you fever when you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Flames are gonna get you
What a lovely way to burn
