Running Up That Hill Lyrics

Lyrics
It doesn't hurt me
You want to feel how it feels
You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me
You wanna hear about the deal I'm making
You...(If i only could... be runnin up that hill)
You and me...
And if I only could, make a deal with God,
Get him to swap our places
Be runnin up that road
Be runnin up that hill
Be running up that building
If i only could... oh...
You don't wanna hurt me
but see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder
there's a thunder in our hearts, baby
So much hate for the ones we love
Tell me we both matter, don't we?
You...(If I only could... be running up that hill)
You and me...
You and me... won't be... unhappy
If i only could
Make a deal with God
Get him to swap our places
Be runnin up that road
Be runnin up that hill
Be runnin up that building
If i only could... ohh
Come on baby
Come on, come on darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Come on angel
Come on, come on darling
Let's exchange the experience
Oh...
If i only could
Make a deal with God
Get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be runnin up that hill
No problems...
If I only could
Make a deal with God
Get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
No problems...
If i only could, be runnin up that hill
If I only could, be runnin up that hill
If I only could, be runnin up that hill
If I only could, be runnin up that hill
If i only could, be runnin up that hill
If I only could, be runnin up that hill
If I only could, be runnin up that hill
