LYRICS
You took your coat off, 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 mysterious one with
Dark eyes and careless hair
You were fashionably sensitive
But too cool to care
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, and
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
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
You’d teach me of honest things
Things that were daring, things that were clean
Things that knew 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, guess I’ve mistaken you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn
Somebody more like myself
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
And you took your coat off, stood in the rain
You’re always crazy like that
Nazis and jewviniles?

Wow, I forgot this video was a different version than the album version!
You give me ten Jewels, you can have a Thousand Britney's. We will destroy you!
Decades later I finally appreciate her brilliance. God Iโm an idiot
What a time this is to use the years of our lives spent in growing so that we can hear this music and these words cut deep and welcome into our hearts.
I've listened to this many times and never seen this video. I have to say that I prefer the pictures in my mind and heart to those shown here.
she could read my Teenage Mind and then I cried , alone.
Love her
Helen.
I heard this for the first time on Coast FM when on vacation in Miami. I drove a round trip to New York. Looked forward to getting back to Miami hoping this song would be on the radio again. Wasn't disappointed. Loved this song then, still love it now.
I liked then and still now how she didn't "fix" her teeth. Didn't give a damn what anyone thought about it.
Que gran cancion y que mujer mas hermosa
my favorite song
I ant chinito Iโm blackanise

Hard to believe this song was on the Batman & Robin soundtrack.
This song hits so close to home

STILL GOING STRONG IN 2021 !!!! – I HEARD ABOUT THIS SONG WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE AND AT MY JOB – THESE WERE SONGS THAT REALLY MEANT SOMETHING FROM THE HUMAN EMOTION OF THE HEART – FROM ALANIS MORSETTE, JEWEL, VANESSA CARLTON, DIDO, DUNCAN SHEIK, JASON MRAZ, TEDDY GEIGER, 3 DOORS DOWN, GWEN STEFANI, NO DOUBT, ROB THOMAS, MAROON 5, ETC …. WATCHING FRIENDS ON TELEVISION AND EATING A CUP OF RAMEN AND DOING MY COLLEGE HOME WORK AT NYU COLLEGE IN THE WEST VILLAGE, NEW YORK CITY – STILL BRINGS BACK ALOT OF FABULOUS MEMORIES OF THE EARLY 1980S AND 1990S TOO – SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE MUSIC WITH FRIENDS AND MEMORIES TOO ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Once in a lifetime an extraordinary musical composition imitates visual art through an equally beautiful human being. I'm humbled to have been moved by this work of art.

Not to sound racist,, I dont usually find White women attractive. However, Jewel is so beautiful. Her imperfections make her even more beautiful. Natural teeth and nose. So attractive. And her voice is so pretty and authentic.
Most beautiful song of 90s….at least of the 90s
ะะปะธะฟ ะฝะธ ะพ ัะตะผ…
2021. Still listening. Still amazed. One of the best songs and vocal performances ever
Jewel has such an amazing voice…Had not listened in a while…

Jewel, I never stopped loving you. I thought you should know.
I'm 41.
I'm south Korean.
i heard this song when i was high school.
always my favorite song๐
Play your foolish games once, shame on you; I let you play the foolish games twice; shame on I…I will walk away stronger the second time…๐๐
This is the first time Iโve listened to this song in years. It reminds me of a time when I used to yearn for heartbreak, I wanted to live this, to experience these feelingsโฆ here I am over 20 years later and it still resonates but now I have my own experiences and now these lyrics become a telling of my own story. Music is magic and this is a great song!
What a beautiful voice,, beautiful soul. Jewel wrote her songs. I had this CD as a child good memoriea.
