The song parallels Bruce Wayne's relationship with Julie Madison, as well as his friendship/partnership with Dick Grayson/Robin. The song details one's frustration and agony of knowing that one's lover does not care about them as much as they care for him. This versions is shorter than the album version by one verse, and also appears on the soundtrack of Batman & Robin. Jewel re-recorded the single for the soundtrack to produce a more radio-friendly version, similar to her other singles 'Who Will Save Your Soul' and 'You Were Meant for Me'. It was also the third single to be lifted from the Batman & Robin motion picture soundtrack. ' Foolish Games' is a song by Jewel released as her third/fourth and final single, taken from her debut album Pieces of You.

You took your coat off, Stood in the rain, You're always crazy like that. Well, excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else, Somebody who gave a damn, Somebody more like myself.

Somewhere along the line, I must've gone Off track with you. Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean. You'd teach me of honest things, Things that were daring, things that were clean. You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones As I clumsily strummed my guitar. Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you. Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee. You're always brilliant in the morning, Jewel - Foolish Games. These foolish games are tearing me apart, And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart. 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. You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say Besides some comment on the weather. You're always the mysterious one with Dark eyes and careless hair, You were fashionably sensitive But too cool to care. And I watched from my window, Always felt I was outside looking in on you. The song topped the charts in Canada, reached number 12 in Australia, number 10 in Netherlands, number 8 in Belgium and peaked at number 23 in New Zealand.Р”Р„rtistРІР‚в„ўs age on Release Date: Jewel Kilcher was 23 years old when she released this song.Р”В¬over Versions: Duet with Kelly Clarkson (2013) РІР‚вЂњ Amateur artists covered this song on Youtube.You took your coat off and stood in the rain, You're always crazy like that. On the Billboard Hot 100 it peaked at number 2. I think the woman is looking at herself saying, РІР‚ВWhy am I involved in a relationship where IРІР‚в„ўm selling myself so short?'РІР‚Сњ Like with her earlier song.Р”В¬hart Rankings: In the US, РІР‚ВFoolish GamesРІР‚в„ў topped the Adult Top 40, the Radio Songs charts and the Mainstream Top 40 charts. Jewel said that this song is: РІР‚Сљabout a relationship that I was dramatically involved in on paper. There is so much depth in it, and so much pain. Her voice sounds like she is on the brink of breaking down. Her lover leaves her feeling vulnerable, scared of the possibility of spending the rest of her life without him in it. The lyrics could be an interpersonal battle of JewelРІР‚в„ўs emotions. She doesnРІР‚в„ўt feel like she deserves to be in a relationship with this man. She is infatuated with this her lover and puts him on this pedestal of importance recognizing that there are problems in this relationship, she talks about him like he is an older man, maybe a missing father figure she always wanted. Something she has waited for her whole life, but her lack of confidence in the situation leaves her to question whether what she feels is real, or whether he has the same feelings. Her heart is racing out of control, longing for something he gives her. Maybe this person doesnРІР‚в„ўt know how she feels about him so she is dealing with the raw emotions of how he makes her feel which makes her frustrated. The Song is about the continuation of a bitter sweet relationship and someone that is completely enthralled with someone you connect with on a deeper level than you ever have with anyone else before. Jewel Kilcher wrote this song as a poem when she was 16 years old, when she first started keeping a serious journal.
