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)
