from B, to A.
You took your coat off,
and stood in the rain
You were 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, fashionably sensitive, but too
cool to care
You stood in my doorway, You with a' 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
and these, foolish games, are
tearing me apart
and your thoughtless words are
breaking my heart
' breaking my heart
You're always brilliant in the morning
you're 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
well excuse me,
guess I' mistaken you for, somebody else
somebody who gave a damn
somebody more like myself
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
you took your coat off
and stood in the rain
you were always crazy like that.
