Wicked game
Yola Recoba 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

And 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 wanna fall in love
No I don't wanna fall in love
With you
With you
With you

No I don't wanna fall in love
With you
With you

I don't wanna fall in love
(I don't wanna fall in love)

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
You know
I don't wanna fall in love

No I don't wanna fall in love
With you
With you
With you

With you
With you
With you

I don't wanna fall in love
(I don't wanna fall in love)

With you




With you
With you
