Halfway to Paradise - Nick Lowe

I want to be your lover

But your friend is all I stay

Don’t leave me halfway to paradise

So near yet so far away

I want your sweet lips next to my lips

But just when I think they may

You leave me halfway to paradise

So near yet so far away

Ooh, being close to you is almost heaven

For I still can make only so much

It hurts me some, to know your heart’s a treasure

That my heart is within reach to touch

So put your sweet lips next to my lips

And tell me that’s where they’ll stay

Don’t leave me halfway to paradise

So near yet so far, so near yet so far

So near yet so far away
