Lyrics
0:30You took your coat off and stood in the rain
0:38You're always crazy like that
0:44And I watched from my window
0:48Always felt I was outside looking in on you
0:52You're always the mysterious one with
0:53Dark eyes and careless hair
0:54You were fashionably sensitive
0:55But too cool to care
0:56You stood in my doorway with nothing to say
0:58Besides some comment on the weather
0:59Well in case you failed to notice
1:01In case you failed to see
1:04This is my heart bleeding before you
1:08This is me down on my knees and
1:11These foolish games are tearing me apart
1:25And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
1:38You're breaking my heart
1:55You're always brilliant in the morning
2:00Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee
2:09Your philosophies on art Baroque moved you
2:13You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
2:18As I clumsily strummed my guitar
2:20You'd teach me of honest things
2:23Things that were daring things that were clean
2:25Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
2:27I hid my soiled hands behind my back
2:30Somewhere along the line I must have gone
2:31Off track with you
2:32Excuse me think I've mistaken you for somebody else
2:33Somebody who gave a d**n
2:33Somebody more like myself
2:36These foolish games are tearing me
2:43You're tearing me
2:43You're tearing me apart
2:50And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
3:04You're breaking my heart
3:05You took your coat off
3:06Stood in the rain
3:06You're always crazy like that
You took your coat off and 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 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 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 d**n 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
