Story Behind The Song
We have all been stuck in relationships that don't satisfy us, but we just can't seem to get up the gumption to end it. That's what this song calls "Low-Grade Fever." How about this line, "I should be trolling for trauma with a red hot mama."

Lyrics
When I met you at the candy shop
I thought that you were just OK
And when you came on to me
It didn't unglue me, No way------ay!
And now it's been a year
And I've been sincere
And I've tried to get it bad for you
But all I ever caught is what I got today ----ay
Low-grade fever
Ain't burnin' up with no wild desire
Low-grade fever
Barely warm enough to spark my desire
When I look at you, I think you're cute
But you never turned me inside out
Ain't got no aches and chills
Don't need no aspirin pills that way----ay
Well, I know that I'm
Just wasting time
In this chilly, silly sad affair
I should be trollin' for trauma with a red hot mama today----ay!
Low-grade fever
Ain't burnin' up with no wild desire
Low-grade fever
Barely warm enough to spark my desire
When I met you at the candy shop
I thought that you were just OK
And when you came on to me
It didn't unglue me, No way------ay!
And now it's been a year
And I've been sincere
And I've tried to get it bad for you
But all I ever caught is what I got today ----ay
Low-grade fever
Ain't burnin' up with no wild desire
Low-grade fever
Barely warm enough to spark my desire
Barely warm enough to spark my desire
Barely warm enough to spark my desire
