Lyrics :
You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
You were always crazy like that
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 fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
Then 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

These foolish games are tearing me apart
You thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

You were always brilliant in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee
You 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
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
Somewhere along the line I must've 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 apart
You thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

You took off your coat and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that

I was looking for this song for 11 years

[sportster16301]

Simply the best female singer ever.

[earthbyapril915]

Both the lyrics and her voice remind of young Joan Baez singing Luba the Baroness. Touching, beautiful.

kevo i hear ya man. loved the first two albums but she lost me with the pop country even tho the essence was there she had it differantly leveled out. cant stand intuition but love hands and foolish games. i wanna see her live in australia so bad.

[KevoBlues88]

Jewel is awesome. I'm kind of surprised she married that country husband of hers though. Pop country music sucks. With how amazing her personal music is, I just can't see how she switched over to some country stuff. Anybody else see this?

[Joeq1969]

how many artist can put it out there like that anymore.She doesnt need anything fancy or gimmicks.She is pure talent with heart felt emotions.Loved it when it first came out and still loving it now...And by the way did anyone see jewel on the cover of some shape mag or something.She looks better now than she did 20 years ago..Talking about having it all
