Wicked Game
Desire's Wicked Game: A Love Lost and Flames Ignited
Lyrics
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
The speaker feels like the world is in chaos, and no one else can offer salvation except the person being addressed.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do

I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you

And I'd never dreamed that I'd loose somebody like you
The speaker never anticipated losing someone like the addressee.
No I don't wanna fall in love

No I don't wanna fall in love

With you, oh, oh-oh-oh

With you, mh, mhm-mhm-mh
