[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
What a wicked game to 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
[Chorus]
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

- It doesn’t matter if you are 90 or 19, this song is absolutely timeless. I get goosebumps every time I hear it!
- This song is perfection, especially driving top down on a summer night. Beautiful music never goes out of style.
- This song feels like a cool breeze on a warm summer night while sitting on a ledge and overlooking the city.
