Foolish games

you took your coat off and stood in the rain

you' re always crazy like that

and I watched from my window

always felt I was outside looking in on you

you' re always the mysterious one with

dark eyes and careless hair

you were fashionable sensitive

but too cool to care

you stood in my doorway with nothing to say

besides some comment on the weather

well in case you failed to notice

in case you failed to see

this is my heart bleeding before you

this is down on my knees, and...

these foolish games are tearing me apart

and your thoughtless words are breaking my heart

you' re breaking my heart

you' re always brilliant in the morning

smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee

your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you

you loved Mozart and you' d speak of your loved ones

and I clumsily strummed my guitar

you' d teach me of honest things

things that were daring, things that were clean

things that knew what an honest dollar did mean

I hid my soiled hands behind my back 

somewhere along the line, I must' ve got 

off track with you

well, excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else 

somebody you gave a damn

somebody more like myself

these foolish games are tearing me apart

and your thoughtless words are breaking my heart

you' re breaking my heart

you took your coat off 

and stood in the rain

you' re always crazy like that
