Wicked Game
Stone Sour · Come What(ever) May [2006]
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
What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt that way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
And I don't wanna fall in love
No, I don't wanna fall in love
With you
With you
World was on fire and no one could save me but you.
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
No I
No I
Nobody loves no one
