Wicked Game
Mimi Page Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
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 wa.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you
No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love (This world 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 never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you




No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mimi Page's cover of Wicked Game clearly indicate a conflicted love story. The singer finds themselves falling in love with someone they never thought they would meet in their life. However, they're hesitant to pursue this relationship because of the fear of getting hurt. They believe that the world is a cruel place and falling in love will only lead to heartbreak. This reluctance to commit is expressed multiple times throughout the song, with the singer singing, "No, I don't want to fall in love with you."


Despite the singer's cautiousness, they cannot help but acknowledge the intensity of their feelings for the other person. The lyrics "What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way" and "What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you" highlight this internal conflict. The singer questions the other person's intentions, wondering if they are intentionally leading them on or if their actions and words are simply a result of the power of desire.


Ultimately, the song explores the uncertainty and vulnerability that comes with falling in love. It showcases how love can be both beautiful and terrifying at the same time, and how our fears and insecurities can prevent us from fully embracing the emotions that come with it.
