Chris Isaak - Wicked Game | no, I don’t wanna fall in love (speed up) [with 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

I don't know why I never heard this song when it came out more than 30 years ago, geez! But it gets me. There is something about this guy's voice that sort of reminds me of Roy Orbison too, those aching long high notes he hits. What a sad heart breaking song. I only checked to see if I could find lyrics today from the part of the song I heard in - get ready for this - a MetroMarket in Milwaukee while I was grocery shopping, for pete's sake! I made it a point to memorize "No I don't want to fall in love with you" and put it into the lap top and here I am. Wow. This is an absolute killer song, and Chris Isaak, wherever you may be, I will never be the same after hearing this. I think it may haunt my dreams for a while.

One of those good tracks you could get down with even if it had no words. The music is on point!

Haunting. I remember this but never knew who it was by or what it was called.
