David Cook - Wicked Game Lyrics






The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire would make foolish people do
I've never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I've 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

What a wicked game you played
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 wanna fall in love
(this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I wanna fall in love
(this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you

No, I...
(this girl is only gonna break your heart)

The world was on fire
and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire would make
foolish people do

  18. N.... [....

    This is where Cook seems to be at his best. Take other peoples songs and make them his own. He should stick to this... apparently this all he can do.. and he does it well.

  19. N.... ....

    Sexy, haunting amazing vocals...

  20. s.... ....

    This is sooo good! Always loved this song. Love David cover the best by far. The slow build,,,,more power,,,,wow. Need a cigarette good.

  21. D.... A....

    I hope Chris makes a s**tload of money off all these covers! :)

  22. P.... B....

    I never realized how much he sounds like Corey Taylor... I watched his whole season of AI from start to finish. how did I not notice this?

  23. d.... ....

    Fantastic!!! I only wish the song wasn't so short...

  24. a.... ....

    Make the video please. Amazing cover. Better than the original.

  25. B.... H....

    This is perfection.

  26. S.... F....

    Damn David back at it again with the awesome songs 🇺🇸🇺🇸

  27. R.... ....

    David and Nina Kraljić ... best covers of VG !

  28. J.... J....

    Hope he releases a video to go with this?

  29. J.... J....

    I love Chris Isaak's original but I might live David's version just as much - gorgeous!

  30. m.... R....

    this cover whold work well with the new game of thrones trailer . :)

  31. t.... c....

    You have made this your own. It's hauntingly beautiful.

  32. E.... ....

    мы под эту песню танцевали на Kolitants 2016

  33. B.... B....

    Love, love, love this song!!!! As always David Cook is an amazing artist!

  34. E.... S....

    Wow David! I forget how amazing you are! So glad you were on #IdolDuets last night! AMAZING!!!!!!

  35. D.... L....

    Is this Phillip Phillips song?

    D.... L....

    +Duc Luong Do No it's not. It's Chris Issak's song. David Cook along with Philips and who knows how many others have covered it. This happens to be one of my favourite covers.

  36. n.... ....

    One thing that really bugs the crap out of me is when vocalists sing "I" as "Hi", like he does during "Hi never dreamed...." & "No, hi don't wanna fall..." He doesn't do it every time - but when he does it's annoying as hell.

  37. s.... ....

    WOW! Voice control! Raw emotion! Just WOW!

  38. 1.... ....

    Very Nice!

  39. D.... O....

    Sounds good David, but I really hoped you would have done it better. I don't know why, but your Idol performances were so much better. You seemed to have heart back then. Bring back the feelings and vocals of Permenant please

  40. C.... N....

    Boy, this really shows off his awesome vocal chops better than anything ever, I think. The album debuted at #4 on the Billboard chart. David is back.

  41. f.... ....

    What a beautiful rendition of this terrific song .... one of the best I've heard.

  42. l.... m....

    Great cover as usual!

  43. Z.... T....

    whoever recorded this album should be punished. It lacks the atmosphere that every mobile cam footage of live perfomances have. Even his voice is sterile. The instruments are middle-bass heavy . Sound lacks so much on the bright side. Sounds like a box.

  44. N.... D....

    I love this version. David's voice is just mesmerizing. So gorgeous - both the voice & the man!

  45. 2.... ....

    Back for more chills! The new album #DigitalVein is perfection!

  46. c.... a....

    Another awesome song produced by David! Hauntingly beautiful! Everyone needs to get behind his new album, Digital Vein, and support this amazing, singer, songwriter, performer, and now producer. David can and does do it all, and on top of that is an amazing human being!!!

  47. M.... C....

    Mr. Cook, you are so sexy...and your music is just as sexy as you are!! Great remake!

  48. S.... B....

    I love your voice! A unique version in all it's senses.

  49. T.... B....

    OMG THATS SO SEXY! <3

  50. 0.... ....

    I've heard this song covered by so many different artists over the years, some good, some not so much. This version by Mr. Cook is one of my absolute favourites! it's start's out so hauntingly quiet, then turns deliciously dark. ...the vocals and production are impeccable and that ending whew...goosebumps...Well Done Sir

  51. �.... ....

    when does he release this album?

    �.... ....

    +김대환 this Friday...Sept the 18th..2 days away..on Itunes amazon, @pledgemusic.com.

  52. s.... ....

    This is my favorite version of this song! Powerful emotional voice just makes it so beautiful. Wow!!

  53. S.... D....

    Even though this is a cover, it would be a hit if released to radio. So powerful and emotive. Rather than trying to copy the original verbatim, which would be a mistake and impossible to duplicate, this version puts its own endearing stamp on a timeless classic. Very difficult for any artist. Well done.

  54. d.... ....

    David is a perfectionist. He holds himself to the highest standards and he delivers EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

  55. i.... ....

    He made it current! Very nice in my opinion. Real artist DC

  56. k.... ....

    This has been a favorite of David's live covers, and I was thrilled when I heard it was going to be on the album. The studio version has surpassed by expectations, which were pretty high.

  57. B.... ....

    This is just Stunning! David's voice is incredible! Thank you for this beautiful song!

  58. 2.... ....

    One of my favorite songs just got better because of The Voice! David Cook's voice is my drug. Haunting. Chills. His voice makes me FEEL this song! Wicked vocals. David Cook does it again! Must listen through head phones. I can't wait for Sept 18th & Digital Vein!

  59. D.... ....

    Wow, really beautiful.

  60. b.... ....

    Wow! What a Voice! To mention among many others, love how the only power notes at 3:09 gradually lowers down. I think a new one for you and fits well. 3:45 minutes seems too short and leaves me wanting for more. Shows how good this song is. Love also how the drums are being utilized like the alternating 3 beats and 4 beats. Clever. My opinion, a great job in producing the whole song, David Cook and congratulations. Love every minute of it.

  61. b.... ....

    Wowwwwwwww....chills!!!! Sooo good man!!

  62. F.... ....

    Love, love, love.

  63. t.... ....

    **thud** ❤️❤️❤️

  64. J.... ....

    Amazing! It's rare that I saw a cover is better than the original, but David's voice and the new arrangement of the song makes it more impactful than the original.

    J.... ....

    Justin P omg yes

  65. J.... S....

    This is so good..love this version...and love his voice. Amazing vocals

  66. t.... ....

    David's vocals on all these recently released studio versions are simply superb.

  67. M.... ....

    +kyle hora cookistas ka din?

  71. D.... ....

    Always loved David Cook's voice. This song shows off those vocals in the most fabulous way. On top of that, David produced the record himself, and you can really hear how all the added elements enhance the song. Nice job!

  72. C.... ....

    Another great song, damn David.. Cant wait for the new album!

  73. M.... L....

    Omg.. you don't wanna
    fall in love, but I'm in love with your voice! 😍❤️

  74. c.... ....

    As I already tweeted, this is the best advertisement for SHURE microphones that I can think of - good grief! I love hearing every detail of this marvelous voice. Thanks, @SHURE and also thanks to whomever engineered & produced this terrific track! (that would be you, David Cook, singer, arranger & producer and you too, Andy Skib, if you were also engineer & arranger on this one). LOVE it! #DIGITALVEIN is going to be one awesome album! (preorder at Pledgemusic or iTunes or Amazon).

  89. '.... a....

    This, Kris Allen and Phillip Phillips' version... gotta love artistry :)

    '.... a....

    +'Amira apostropheA

    Nothing like. Kris Allen's is Chris Isaak copy. Phillip Phillps is more of a reggae version. All were enjoyable though.

    '.... a....

    +Georgia Mooney Sure... That's kinda what I meant. They're all original in their own merit - therefore love 'artistry.' Never said they were alike :)

  90. P.... S....
