[Verse 1] Stop laughing at me for cheating If this talk keeps going any further I won't reach it

[Pre-Chorus] The limit in my heart I want to break it, I want to remove it What can I do? I want to try from bottom of my heart

[Chorus] Night fever, night fever! A heartbreaking Fire! Night fever, high fever! Someday, I'll go there too! Night fever, night fever! An unstoppable fire, baby! Night fever, high fever! Here we go, here we go, Night fever night!

[Verse 2] You wouldn't understand These feelings Being left behind together With anxiety

[Pre-Chorus 2] Even to my male friends I don't want to lose I just want to keep the distance Where the tail lamp is visible

[Chorus 2] Night fever, night fever! I want to jump higher! Night fever, high fever! I don't want to just sit and watch! Night fever, high fever! Crossing over the night higher, baby! Night fever, high fever! Here we go, here we go, Night fever night!

[Pre-Chorus 3] I want to change This unpleasant courage What can I do? Even if it's just for a second I want to become even faster!
