English term or phrase: Wicked game
Song written by Chris Isaak...
The word "WICKED" has opposite meanings, so it really got me here!

..."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
v And I don't wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
And I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]"...

wicked game
jogo malicioso


Explanation:
Neste contexto acredito que a tradução pela palavra "malicioso" ficaria melhor e, também, mais elegante.
Malicia: intenção e desejo de fazer mal, de provocar, de implicar, etc.
