Intro: |
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 |
Repeat Chorus |
You took your coat off and stood in the rain |
You were always crazy like that |
