Game
K.H.M. (Kool Keith H-Bomb [aka Jacky Jasper] & Marc Live) 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
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you

No I don't want to fall in love
(this girl is only gonna break your heart)
And 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)

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 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
No one could save me but you
It's strange what desire
Will make foolish people do
No I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I 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)

No I (this girl is only gonna break your heart)




(this girl is only gonna break your heart)
Nobody loves no one

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Wicked Game" by K.H.M. (Kool Keith H-Bomb [aka Jacky Jasper] & Marc Live) describe a complicated love affair. The singer is deeply in love with someone who may not feel the same way about him. The chorus suggests that the singer knows he should not get too involved with this person because it will only end in heartbreak. Despite this, he is still drawn to her because she is different from anyone he has ever met before. The verses contain powerful language that describes the intensity of his feelings, such as "the world was on fire" and "it's strange what desire will make foolish people do."


The bridge of the song is especially powerful. The singer describes how this person has made him feel – "To make me feel this way, to let me dream of you." He knows that what he feels is wrong, but he cannot help the way he feels. The singer repeats the chorus, emphasizing his decision not to fall in love with this person, even though he knows he wants to. The song ends with the solemn reminder that "Nobody loves no one," suggesting that love is just a game that people play that inevitably leads to heartbreak.
