I know I'm only Shelly's winter love
She only seems to need me now and then
I know I'm only Shelly's winter love
But she's mine alone till spring comes round again
When springtime comes I know that she'll be livin'
I know I'm only Shelly's winter love

When those friends of hers start callin' her from town
And so I'll wait for Shelly's winter season
Till her troubled moments bring her back around
I know I'm only Shelly's winter love
She only seems to need me now and then
I know I'm only Shelly's winter love
But she's mine alone till spring comes round again
I know I'm only Shelly's winter love
But she's mine alone till spring comes round again
When Shelly's painted world gets cold and stormy
It's then she finds the need
To come around
To these arms of mine
She knows I'm always waiting
But she'll leave whenever springtime comes around
I know I'm only Shelly's winter love

She only seems to need me now and then
I know I'm only Shelly's winter love
But she's mine alone till spring comes round again
I know I'm only Shelly's winter love

I know I'm only Shelly's winter love
I know I'm only Shelly's winter love
I know I'm only Shelly's winter love
