Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It doesn't hurt me (Yeah, yeah, no)

Do you wanna feel how it feels? (Yeah, yeah, yo)

Do you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me? (Yeah, yeah, yo)

Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making? (Yeah, yeah, yo)

[PreChorus]

You

It's you and me

[Chorus]

And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God

And I'd get him to swap our places

Be running up that road, be running up that hill

Be running up that building

Say, if I only could, oh-ooh

[Verse 2]

You don't wanna hurt me (Yeah, yeah, no)

But see how deep the bullet lies (Yeah, yeah, yo)

Unaware I'm tearing you asunder (Yeah, yeah, yo)

Oh, there is thunder in our hearts (Yeah, yeah, yo)

Is there so much hate for the ones we love? (Yeah, yeah, yo)

Oh, tell me we both matter, don't we? (Yeah, yeah, yo)

[PreChorus]

You

It's you and me

It's you and me

You won't be unhappy

[Chorus]

And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God

And I'd get him to swap our places

Be running up that road, be running up that hill

Be running up that building (He-oh)

Say, if I only could, oh-ooh

[Refrain]

You

It's you and me

It's you and me

You won't be unhappy

[Bridge]

Oh, come on, baby

Oh, come on, darlin'

Let me steal this moment from you now

Oh, come on, angel

Come on, come on, darlin'

Let's exchange the experience

Oh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]

And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God

And I'd get him to swap our places

I'd be running up that road, be running up that hill

With no problems

[Chorus]

Say, if I only could, I'd make a deal with God

And I'd get him to swap our places

Be running up that road, be running up that hill

With no problems

[Chorus]

Say, if I only could, I'd make a deal with God

And I'd get him to swap our places

I'd be running up that road, be running up that hill

With no problems

[Chorus]

Say, if I only could

Be running up that hill

With no problems

[Outro]

If I only could, be running up that hill

If I only could, be running up that hill
