I know I'm only Shelly's bitter love She only seems to need me now and then
I know I'm only Shelly's bitter love But she's mine alone till springtime comes
again When springtime comes, I know that she'll be
leaving When those friends of hers start calling her
from town So I'll live and wait for Shelly's winter
season Winter trouble moments bring her back around
I know I'm only Shelly's bitter love She only seems to need me now and then
I know I'm only Shelly's bitter love But she's mine alone till springtime comes
again When Shelly's painted world turns cold and
stormy It's then she'll find the need to come around
To these arms of mine she knows are always waiting
But she'll leave when love has thawed the winter ground
I know I'm only Shelly's bitter love She only seems to need me now and then
I know I'm only Shelly's bitter love But she's mine alone till springtime comes
again
