Foolish Games Lyrics

Anne Haigis Foolish Games

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 were always the mysterious one with
                                              Dark eyes and careless hair you were
                                             Fashionable sensitive but too cool to care

                                         Then you stood in my doorway with nothing to say
                                              Beside 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'd teach me of honest things
                                          Things that were daring, things that were clean
                                                 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

                                           And these foolish games are tearing me apart
                                         And your thoughtless words are breaking ma heart
