Scarlet Fever Lyrics - 42 Ultimate Hits - Kenny Rogers

I stood outside the Lucky Star staring at the flashing sign 

It read, 'Come on in and watch young Scarlet's body come alive' 

Let her dance for you and cast her spell 

You'll swear you can believe her 

Be careful not to catch that scarlet fever 

So I paid my fare and walked down front and found an empty chair 

As I settled in young Scarlet took the ribbons from her hair 

The moves her body made while the music played 

Were the likes I've never seen 

And she became the envy of my dreams

One by one her teasing movements brought the crowd out of their seats 

And all at once young Scarlet danced straight up in front of me 

From the moment that her eyes found mine I've never been the same 

Scarlet locked another heart upon her chain 

Now I get scarlet fever every time I see her 

But she's a night club teaser not paid to notice me 

Yes, I get scarlet fever if she knew how much I need her 

She'd place her hand in my hand and dance away with me 

She looked twenty-five but I was told that she was just sixteen 

She had a way of making a man believe, she danced for only him 

As she tantalized I fantasized and felt the sound of my heart beat 

And every night I'd dream she'd fall in love with me 

Then one night while driving in my eyes begun to tear 

'Coz the sign outside the Lucky Star said, 'Scarlet isn't here' 

She'd left that day to find a life of bigger and better things 

And she left behind my chain of broken dreams

But still get scarlet fever in my mind I still see her 

Out there dancing somewhere to another fool like me 

Yes, I get scarlet fever if she knew how much I need her 

She'd place her hand in my hand and dance away with me
