Johnny Nash - Halfway To Paradise Lyrics

I want to be your lover
But your friend, is all I'll stay
You leave me halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away

I long for your lips to kiss my lips
But just when I think they may
You leave me halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away

Bein' close to you is almost heaven
But seein' you can do just so much
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure
And that my heart is forbidden to touch

So put your sweet lips close to my lips
And tell me that's where they're stay
Don't leave me halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away
I don't wanna be halfway, no no no no, to paradise
So near, yet so far away
...
