They say 'Be delicate'
But how can I be delicate if I shiver?
I'm scared around people I don't know
And this fear is cold
...and it makes me shiver

My coats are supposed to protect me from the cold, but I still shiver
The coat of wool and confidence
The coat of cotton and courage
The coat of silk and beauty
The coats are cheap and old
And if I move too fast they fall apart

My coats are useless
I still shiver
Oh it's cold when I'm surrounded by strangers
I see a furry coat on the ground
If I put it on I won't shiver anymore

'Be delicate' they say
But how can I be delicate if I shiver?
Gracelessly I put the coat on
But it is heavy and I collapse
I'm paralyzed yet I still shiver
