Wicked Game
Anton Ishutin feat. Deniz Reno Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

No, I don't wanna fall in love
-This world is always going to break your heart-
No, I don't wanna fall in love
-This world is always going to break your heart-
with you
-This world is always going to break your heart-

What a wicked game to play
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 you do
To make me dream of you

No, I don't wanna fall in love
-This world is always going to break your heart-
No, I don't wanna fall in love
-This world is always going to break your heart-
With you

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

And now I wanna fall in love
-This world is always going to break your heart-
And now I wanna fall in lust
This world is always going to break your heart
My love
-This world is always going to break your heart-
My...
-This world is always going to break your heart-
My time
-This world is always going to break your heart-

And nobody loves
No one

This just takes Chris Isaac's original to a completely different level. My level in fact. I've always loved Wicked Games but it carries a very melancholy feel in both tempo and key. Now, I can get into it anytime despite my being overjoyed. Man I love this mix!!!! Incredible work!!! Thank you!!! πŸ’™

Really good; as always. Sad to only have found this 7 years AFTER creation. Seductive. Catchy. Inspiring. Beautiful.

This is such a good track and a superb video to go with it - as a man of culture myself, there is always something hypnotic about a beautiful woman. 10/10
