Lyrics of
Wicked Game

Wicked Game is a song by Chris Isaak. The songs haunting melody and theme of unrequited love have contributed to its lasting appeal and success. Isaak is said to have been inspired by a romantic encounter with a woman, expressing the complicated feelings involved in falling for someone who may not be available to love back in the same way.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.
I never dreamed that I'd miss somebody like you.

And I wanna fall in love.
And I wanna fall in love.
With you.
With you.

What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you.
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt that way.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you,

And I wanna fall in love.
And I wanna fall in love.
With you.
With you.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed I'd meet somebody like you.
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you,

And I wanna fall in love.
And I wanna fall in love.
With you.
With you.
Nobody loves no one.
