Foolish Games
"Foolish Games" is a song by American singer-songwriter Jewel from her debut studio album, ''Pieces of You'' (1995). It was also the third single to be lifted from the '' Batman & Robin'' motion-picture soundtrack. 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". This version is shorter than the album version by one verse. The song details the frustration and agony of knowing that the intensity of one's love is not reciprocated by one's lover. A CD single for the song was not issued in the United States, but a re-released version of the "You Were Meant for Me" CD single had a hidden bonus track of the single version of "Foolish Games". Because of this, instead of debuting and charting on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in the traditional way, "Foolish Games" was able to continue the chart life of "You Were Meant for Me". The latter, which had peaked at number tw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
