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 one with Dark eyes and careless hair, You were fashionably sensitive But too cool to care. stood in my doorway, with nothing to say Besides some comment on the weather.
[Pre-Chorus 1] in case you failed to notice, In case you failed to see, This is my heart bleeding before you, is me down on my knees, and...
[Chorus] 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, your cigarettes and talking over coffee. Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you. You Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones As I clumsily strummed my guitar.
You'd teach me of honest Things that were daring, things that were clean Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean So I hid my soiled hands behind back Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you
[Pre-Chorus 2] Well, excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else, Somebody who gave a damn, Somebody like myself.
[Chorus] You took your coat off, Stood in the rain, You're always crazy like that.
