Trade Hearts Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jason Derulo & (Julia Michaels)]
You say I don't have any time to try and keep you satisfied
I call you crazy all the time
You say I'm so damn difficult, and I save it with, "You're beautiful"
You're tired of hearing the same lines
(So I cry, cry, and you don't know why, why)

[Chorus: Jason Derulo]
So I, I, I, I, I, I wish I could trade hearts with you (with you)
So I, I, I, I, I, I can feel the same way you do, you do

[Verse 2: Julia Michaels & (Jason Derulo)]
Hey, can you teach me cynical? I hope it's not too difficult
Don't tell me I'm incapable, mmm
'Cause I wanna scream the way you scream, I wanna bleed the way you bleed
But you only get half of me
(So you cry, oh yeah, you cry, and I don't know why, baby, why)

[Chorus: Julia Michaels & Jason Derulo]
So I, I, I, I, I, I wish I could trade hearts with you (I)
So I, I, I, I, I, I can feel the same way you do
'Cause there's some things I just don't understand
Like how hard a woman loves a man
So I, I, I, I, I, I, so I, I, I, I, I, I wish I could trade hearts with you, with you, with you

[Bridge: Julia Michaels & Jason Derulo]
Touch me 'til I feel your love on mine
Touch me, love me, now like it's me that's cryin'
Touch me 'til I feel your love onmine, oh (I will)
Baby, I swear that I'm tryin'
[Chorus: Julia Michaels and Jason Derülo]
So I, I, I, I, I, I wish I could trade hearts with you (with you)
So I, I, I, I, I, I can feel the same way you do
'Cause there's some things I just don't understand
Like how hard a woman loves a man
Oh, I, I, I, I, I, I wish I could trade hearts with you, with you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • 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 [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The song features a vocal contribution from pop songwriter Julia Michaels. It was the first time Michaels was credited as a featured artist rather than a songwriter.

Michaels recalled to Billboard magazine that she got a phone call from Jason Derulo, who was interested in a song she had written, but wanted to make it a duet. She went to Derulo’s studio that night and recorded a demo, thinking he intended to give the part to another singer.
