Lyrics
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 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 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 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 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! 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 off
Stood in the rain
You’re always crazy like that
