i remember when i couldn't talk to shelly,
and i would hide under the covers,
she asked if there was anything a-wrong.
and i said honey, it's only lovely, fragile february.

(chorus)
lovely, fragile february.
so lovely, fragile february.

shelly only told me a little about her life,
she wouldn't talk about her 8-track collection.
when i asked her what she, what she, what she thought of me.
she said: lovely, fragile february.

(chorus) so lovely.

shelly cried when i said i could no longer be
the cool guy she always thought i was,
she asked me if i needed a little time and space
and i said i wish i could have lovely, fragile february.

(chorus)
