Before she met me she took 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
This is just code to decipher

found my ploughman, chased the piper

That ended up

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


The first five years go by and we are no longer here
I blame myself for not taking steps to draw her near

I try to decide what to do now based on love, not fear

I say "Fever."


Four years
Four years

Four years
Four years
Four years years years years

Four years
Four years
Four years

Four years
Four years years years years


Hold my heart like a hot potato,
push the clock for an hour later.
This is just code to decipher;

found my ploughman, chased the piper.
