Nick Lowe - Halfway to Paradise lyrics

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
