Wicked Games
The Weeknd ( Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I left my girl back home
I don't love her no more
And she'll never fucking know that
These fucking eyes that I'm staring at
Let me see that ass
Look at all this cash
And I emptied out my cards too
Now I'm fucking leaning on that

Bring your love, baby, I could bring my shame
Bring the drugs, baby, I could bring my pain
I got my heart right here
I got my scars right here
Bring the cups, baby, I could bring the drank
Bring your body, baby, I could bring you fame
And that's my motherfucking words too
Just let me motherfucking love you

Listen, ma, I'll give you all I got
Get me off of this, I need confidence in myself
Listen, ma, I'll give you all of me
Give me all of it, I need all of it to myself
So tell me you love me
(Only for tonight, only for the night)
Even though you don't love me
Just tell me you love me
(I'll give you what I need, I'll give you all of me)
Even though you don't love me

Let me see you dance
I love to watch you dance
Take you down another level
And get you dancing with the Devil
Take a shot of this
But I'm warning you
I'm on that shit that you can't smell, baby
So, put down your perfume

Bring your love, baby, I could bring my shame
Bring the drugs, baby, I could bring my pain
Oh, I got my heart right here
Oh, I got my scars right here
Bring the cups, baby, I could bring the drank
Bring your body, baby, I could bring you fame
And that's my motherfucking words too, ayy
So let me motherfucking love you

Listen, ma, I'll give you all I got
Get me off of this, I need confidence in myself
Listen, ma, I'll give you all of me
Give me all of it, I need all of it to myself
I need all of it, so tell me you love me
(Only for tonight, only for the night)
Even though you don't love me
Just tell me you love me




(I'll give you what I need, I'll give you all of me)
Even though you don't love me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Weeknd's "Wicked Games" describe a toxic relationship that is based solely on physical attraction and drug use. The singer seems to have left his significant other and is describing his new lifestyle of partying, drugs, and empty sex. He is using the woman in the song for her body, her love, and her fame, despite her not actually loving him back. The lines "just let me motherfucking love you" and "even though you don't love me" show a desperate attempt to cling to any form of affection, even if it is artificial.


The chorus of the song, "bring your love, baby, I could bring my shame; bring the drugs, baby, I could bring my pain" further emphasizes the theme of using each other for destructive purposes. The singer is willing to go to great lengths to maintain the illusion of love and intimacy, even if it means bringing more pain and suffering into his life.


Overall, the lyrics of "Wicked Games" depict a relationship that is doomed to fail due to its lack of genuine connection and mutual respect. The singer is addicted to the rush of temporary pleasure, and as a result, is unable to form meaningful relationships.
