Larry Shue
Larry Howard Shue (July 23, 1946 – September 23, 1985) was an American playwright and actor, best known for writing two often-performed farces, The Nerd and The Foreigner.
Early life
Shue was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and grew up in Kansas and Glen Ellyn, Illinois. He graduated cum laude from Illinois Wesleyan University, where he received a B.F.A. in 1968, served in the Army during the Vietnam War, and then began his career as a professional actor and playwright with the Harlequin Dinner Theatre in both Washington, D.C. and Atlanta. He worked in repertory theater and on the New York stage, and appeared in television's One Life to Live. Film appearances include the shorts A Common Confusion; Another Town; and The Land of the Blind: or The Hungry Leaves; and the feature-length Sweet Liberty.
As a member of Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Shue played the sailor Joe in the 1980 premiere of Lakeboat by David Mamet. Mamet dedicated the play to Shue and the production's director, John Dillon.

Fever
by: Laura ShayI see the weakness in your knees
Feel the lust down in your jeans
A fever's coming over me
Need someone to set me free
Need someone to set me free
I say exactly what I mean
But words are never what they seem
I'll make you rock and then you'll roll
Bring a little funk and soul
Said I'll bring a little funk and soul
I'll love you a little bit harder
I'll make you beg for more
I'll take you a little bit higher
Baby I love you, I want you, I need you
I gotta, gotta have it
So if I haven't made it clear
I'll scream your name for all to hear
I'll touch your skin and make you sweat
I'm one mistake you won't regret
Said I'm one mistake you won't regret so
I'll love you a little bit harder
I'll make you beg for more
I'll take you a little bit higher
Baby I love you, I want you, I need you
Baby I love you, I want you, I need you
I gotta, gotta have it
I see the weakness in your knees
Feel the lust down in your jeans
A fever's coming over me
You gotta set me
You gotta set me
You gotta set me
Gotta set me
Gotta set me
I'll love you a little bit harder
I'll make you beg for more
I'll take you a little bit higher
Baby I love you, I want you, I need you
I love you, I want you, I need you
