Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You took your coat off
And stood in the rain
You're always crazy like that
I watched from my window
Always felt like
I was outside looking in on you
[Verse 2]
You were always the mysterious one
With dark eyes and careless hair
You were fashionably sensitive
But too cool to care
And you stood in my doorway
With nothing to say
Besides some comment on the weather
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
And these foolish games
Are tearing me apart
And your thoughtless words
Are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Well, excuse me
'Cause I'm mistaking you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn
Somebody more like myself
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
You took your coat off
And stood in the rain
Ooh, you were always
Crazy like that
