[Intro — Pulsing sub-bass, ticking percussion, distant operatic whisper] Ah-ah... ah-ah... Midnight... Mmm... I've got a fever... [Verse 1 — Deep, seductive tenor; minimal house beat] Black silk, red wine, velvet room I caught your eyes across the gloom You move like trouble dressed in gold A little dangerous, uncontrolled One look, two hearts, no escape I feel the tension in the space You lean in close, you say my name And suddenly I'm up in flames [Pre-Chorus — Rising strings, whispered falsetto] Don't slow down, don't kill the fire Take me higher, higher, higher Every second pulls me deeper You're the reason for my fever [Chorus — Hypnotic house drop, catchy rhythmic tenor] Midnight fever, fever, fever Got me burning up for you Midnight fever, fever, fever Tell me that you feel it too Oh-oh-oh, I can't breathe When you're moving next to me Midnight fever, fever, fever You're the heat I can't release [Post-Chorus — Dark, groovy bass drop, chopped operatic vocals] Ah-ah-ah! Ah-ah-ah! Fever, fever! Midnight fever! Oh-oh-oh! [Verse 2 — Playful, confident vocals; syncopated bass] Your fingertips against my chest You know exactly what comes next The DJ turns the music loud But we don't even hear the crowd No conversation, just a glance You pull me into one more dance The city sleeps, the night is ours We're counting kisses instead of hours [Pre-Chorus — Rising orchestral harmonies] Don't slow down, don't kill the fire Take me higher, higher, higher Every second pulls me deeper You're the reason for my fever [Chorus — Full dark-house production] Midnight fever, fever, fever Got me burning up for you Midnight fever, fever, fever Tell me that you feel it too Oh-oh-oh, I can't breathe When you're moving next to me Midnight fever, fever, fever You're the heat I can't release [Bridge — Beat cuts out; dramatic strings, deep baritone rising into operatic tenor] Ahhh—ahhh—ahhh! Let the night consume the sky Let the stars fall from on high If desire is a crime I'll be guilty every time! [Operatic crescendo — Soaring high tenor] AHHH—AHHH—AHHH! [Final Chorus — Explosive deep-house drop, operatic harmonies] MIDNIGHT FEVER, FEVER, FEVER! Got me burning up for you! Midnight fever, fever, fever! Tell me that you feel it too! Oh-oh-oh, I can't breathe! When you're moving next to me! MIDNIGHT FEVER, FEVER, FEVER! You're the heat I can't release! [Outro — Pulsing bass fades, intimate whisper] Fever... fever... Midnight fever... You and me.
