Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - I Ain't Got The Fever No More lyrics

rate me

(S. Van Zandt)

It's the same old story, baby

You go out and have a good time

Leaving me here to wonder

If I ever had what I thought was mine

But I got a little surprise for you, baby

The old boy is back in style

Yes, he is

No more sleepless nights

I'm all through walkin' the floor

I ain't gonna wait by the telephone

'Cause I ain't got the fever no more

Last time that I saw you, baby

I had nothing left to say

And I thought I'd lost my reason for living

When you took my sunshine away

But now you're a fading memory

Like one long, cloudy day, baby

No more sleepless nights

I'm all through walkin' the floor

I ain't gonna wait by the telephone

I ain't got the fever no more

My only regret, baby

Is that I waited so damn long

I thought that I'd been making you happy

But all I did was wrong, wrong, wrong

It's a brand new ball game, darling

And, honey, you just got shut out

No more sleepless nights

I'm all through walkin' the floor

I ain't gonna wait by the telephone

I ain't got the fever no more
