It doesn't hurt me
Do you want fee how it feels
Do you want to know: know that
It doesn't hurt me
Do you want to hear 'bout the deal
That I'm making
You and me
CHORUS
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
If I only could oh...
You don't want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Ooh there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love
Tell me we both matter don't we
You
You and me
You and me won't be unhappy
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
If I only could oh...
You
You and me
You and me won't be unhappy
C'mon baby c'mon darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Come on angel, c'mon, c'mon darling
Let's exchange the experience oh
And if only I 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
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-acapo

Pauline Matthews better known as Kiki Dee, is an English singer.

She kicked around Britain as a white soul singer for the better part of the late ‘60s and early '70s – even becoming the first British Caucasian signed to Motown – before hooking up with Elton John, who signed her to his Rocket Records label and produced her first notable hit, “I’ve Got the Music in Me.”

In 1976, at which time John was the biggest pop star in the world, he wrote and duetted with Dee on the single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” which promptly topped the charts all over the world. It did not, however, make Dee a long-term star, though she scored a couple of subsequent hits in England and turned to the stage with some success, especially by starring in Blood Brothers in the West End.
