Intro:
Verse 1:
I want to be your lover but your friend is all I've stayed
I'm only halfway to paradise so near yet so far away
Verse 2:
I long for your lips to kiss my lips but just when I think they may
You lead me halfway to paradise so near yet so far away
Bridge:
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
Verse 3:
So put your sweet lips close to my lips and tell me that's
where they're gonna stay
Don't lead me halfway to paradise mmm, so near yet so far away
So near, yet so far away
Ooh ooh So near, yet so far away
Yes yes So near, yet so far away
