FOOLISH GAMES

Jewel

You took your coat off
and stood in the rain
you were always crazy like that.

(and) I watched from my window,
always felt I was outside
looking in on you.

You were always the mysterious one
with darkeyes 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.

(and) These foolish games
are tearing me apart.

(and) Your thoughtless words
are breaking my heart
you're breaking my (tussenspel) heart.

You were always brilliant in the morning
(your) 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.

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

Somebody who gave a damn
somebody more like myself.

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.

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 (tussenspel) heart.

You took your coat off
and stood in the rain,
you were always crazy like that.
