[Chorus]
I know I'm only Willie's winter love
He only seems to need me now and then
I know I'm only Willie's winter love
But he's mine alone 'til springtime comes again

[Verse 1]
When springtime comes I know he'll be leaving
When his good time friends start calling him to town
So I live and wait for Willie's winter season
When his trouble moments bring him back around

[Chorus]
I know I'm only Willie's winter love
He only seems to need me just now and then
I know I'm only Willie's winter love
But he's mine alone 'til springtime comes again

[Verse 2]
When Willie's painted world turns cold and stormy
It's then he finds the need to come around
To these arms of mine well he knows they're always waiting
But he'll leave again when love thaws the winter's ground

[Chorus]
I know I'm only Willie's winter love
He only seems to need me oh just now and then
I know I'm only Willie's winter love
But he's mine alone 'til springtime comes again
