Foolish Games

FOOLISH GAMES

You took your coat off, 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

Fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care

You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say

besides some comment on the weather

In case you've failed to notice,

In case you've failed to see,

This is my heart bleeding before you,

This is me 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

As I clumsily strummed my guitar

You'd teach me of honest things

Things that are daring

Things that are clean

Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean

I hid my soiled hands behind my back

Somewhere along the line I must have gone off track with you

Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for

Somebody else

Somebody who gave a damn,

Somebody more like myself

and these foolish games are tearing me (you're tearing me, you're tearing me) apart

And your, thoughtless words are

Breaking my heart

You're breaking my heart

You took your coat 0ff, stood in the rain

you're always crazy like that
