I Say Fever

Before she met me she told herself to wait five years
After I met her, her teacher said "Best wait five years."
I ask my neighbors, they said it's wise to wait five years

I say fever

I told a friend how I'm feeling and this made her sad
'Cause she fears that no man will ever desire her so bad
How dare I feel this and do naught but sit on my hands

I say fever

Hold my heart like a hot potato
Push the clock for an hour later
Is this just code to decipher;
If I'm the plumber, then she's the piper

That ended up
That's all now
These are the ones who talk
Never a lick--needs her to kiss him

Suppose five years go by and we are no longer here
I'd blame myself for not taking steps to draw her near
Try to decide what to do now based on love not fear

I say fever

(For years.)

Hold my heart like a hot potato
Push the clock for an hour later
Is this just code to decipher;
If I'm the plumber, then she's the piper
