Running Up That Hill (Make A Deal With God) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It doesn't hurt me
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you wanna know, know that it doesn’t hurt me?
Do you wanna hear about the deal I'm making?

[Pre-Chorus]
You
It's you and me here

[Chorus]
If I only could
Make a deal with God
And I 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

[Verse 2]
You don’t wanna hurt me
See how deep the bullet lies
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder
There's a thunder in our hearts, yeah
It's so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
[Pre-Chorus]
You
It's you and me here
You and me, he won't be unhappy now

[Chorus]
If I only could
Make a deal with God
And I 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

[Pre-Chorus]
You
It's you and me here
You and me, he won’t be unhappy now

[Bridge]
C’mon, baby, c'mon, c’mon, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling
Let’s exchange the experience

[Chorus]
Say if I only could
And If I only could
Make a deal with God
And I 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
Make a deal with God
And I 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
Make a deal with God
Get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
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
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
