Foolish Games

You took your coat off

And stood in the rain

You were always crazy

Like that

I watched

From my window

Always felt

I was outside

Looking in on you

You were always

The mysterious one

With dark eyes

And careless hair

You were

Fashionably sensitive

But too cool to care

Then 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 me down

On my knees

Chorus:

These foolish games

Are tearing me apart

Your thoughtless words

Are breaking my heart

You're breaking my heart

You were always brilliant

In the morning

Smoking your cigarettes

Talking over coffee

Your philosophies on art

Baroque moved you

You loved Mozart

And you'd speak

Of your loved ones

As 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

So I hid my soiled hands

Behind my back

Somewhere along the line

I must've gone off

Track with you

Excuse me

Think I've mistaken you

for somebody else

Somebody who gave a damn

Somebody more like myself

(Chorus)

You took your coat off

And stood in the rain

You were always crazy

Like that
