"Wicked Game" lyrics

"Wicked Game"
(originally by Chris Isaak)

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 wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart) with you
With you
(This world 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 wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna 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 don't wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart) with you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I... (This world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

Nobody loves no one


Céline Dion's version of "Wicked Game" was recorded in Electric Lady Studios in New York. Chris Isaak sang backing vocals on the track.
The Canadian singer explained, "I chose 'Wicked Game' for my Spotify Singles because it's one of my favorite songs of all time for many, many, many reasons. I wanted to respect the original version, which I still think is perfection."
Chris Isaak impression, in his own words, was the following: "When I heard Céline singing there was a big smile on my face. It's just fun to hear her sing. Somebody said about Fred Astaire's dancing, 'He makes it look so easy.' Céline makes it sound so effortless."
