Wicked game
♔ Chris Isaak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you
What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you
And I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
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'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No I (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
Nobody loves no one
The lyrics of Chris Isaak's song "Wicked Game" can be interpreted as a story of an intense, passionate but ultimately doomed love affair. The singer is deeply in love with someone who he believes has caused him pain and hurt through their actions. He acknowledges that his desire for this person has blinded him to the truth, and he knows that they will ultimately only bring him heartbreak. Despite this knowledge, he finds himself unable to resist their pull and is torn between his love for them and the fear of getting hurt. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and longing, highlighting the intensity of the emotions involved in this relationship.
The repeated phrase "this girl is only gonna break your heart" suggests that the singer is well aware of the other person's reputation and history, and that he is cautioning himself against getting too involved with them. However, he is unable to resist their seduction and is drawn in deeper and deeper. The refrain "No I don't want to fall in love with you" becomes almost a mantra, as he tries to convince himself that he can walk away from this relationship without getting hurt.
