[Verse 1] I know Ive done her wrong again God knows I never meant to hurt her I made her a promise again last night I knew I would not keep Morning finds me once again creepin up the stairs and down the hallway And as I touch her pillow, I know that shes been crying in her sleep [Chorus] Damn the fever in the blood I never knew my daddys pain He was always catchin trains and leavin Like mama knew he would Leavin me with fever in the blood [Verse 2] She reaches out and touches me God knows I dont deserve this woman She hides a trace of sorrow behind a smile the way I knew she would Pretending she dont notice the fragrance that still lingers on my body She does everything she can to satisfy the fever in the blood [Chorus] Damn the fever in the blood I never knew my daddys pain He was always catchin trains and leavin Like mama knew he would Leavin me with fever in the blood
