wicked game - Chris Isaak

accidently ran into this song recently from spotify , could not stop listening to it,  an old song but a deep , emotional and haunting one, love brings tremendous joy and pain, love can hurt one deeply, and it has a beginning and an end unforunately like everything else,  the last sentence is 'Nobody loves no one', does this mean nobody ever loves anyone ? hope  one  reaches maturity, he learns forgiveness and compassion towards himself and others ,  and  he loves everyone around him.

What is love?  it is a  mysterious and philosophical question as this song is trying to express, it makes one contemplate and reflect about life and love ...

 

Lyrics

 

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 you 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
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 (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
