Foolish Games Songtext

von Anne Haigis

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
Somewehre 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
