Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
That begun years ago when I was
Just like a "bad boy boogie"
And when I was alone indeed
All around like a fool with my love
And with a "red red fire"
Deep down inside of my heart
[Verse 2]
Every night face to face in the smoke
I had the "Black Jack fever"
Not for money and for the chicks
In the dark I was there just to say
It has beeen a good good pleasure
Who want to play with me now?
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody was looking for the big star
And I was what they wanted
When everybody was waiting for the black card
(I) Was lucky for me
[Chorus]
Black Jack Fever
Not for money and not for many diamonds
Bad Bad Fever
Not for money and not for many girlfriends
[Verse 3]
In these days I re-think (of) the good times
It's just a mad mad passion
Sometimes (I) would be like before
Don't know why I can't stop for my life
This crazy black jack fever
I know it's burning in me
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody was looking for the big star
And I was what they wanted
When everybody was waiting for the black card
(I) Was lucky for me
[Chorus]
Black Jack Fever
Not for money and not for many diamonds
Bad Bad Fever
Not for money and not for many girlfriends
Black Jack Fever
Not for money and not for many diamonds
Bad Bad Fever
Just for my name in the past and the green of the table
