Wicked Games
Parra for Cuva 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'd never dream that I'd meet somebody like you
I'd never dream that I'd lose somebody like you
And I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love
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
No, I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love
With you, with you

And I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love

With you
With you
