The love we've been making
I've never known its kind
I haven't slept or eaten
I just ain't had the time
You showed me a world of pleasure
That I had never known
Ah, but when we're not together
I know you're back in his arms
You take me halfway
Halfway to heaven
And then you send me
Oh, you send me back down
And I can almost touch it
When we come together
But there's something always keeping me out
I can barely contain it
I feel it deep in my bones
Ah, just turning down the street, girl
You're almost back in my arms
Outside your door now
Those pearly gates shine so bright, oh
I just gently close my eyes, then
You'll be with me tonight
'Cause you take me halfway
Halfway to heaven
But then you send me
Oh, you send me back down
And I can almost touch it
Oh, when we come together
But there's something always keeping me out
Oh, I'm reaching out
Lord, I'm reaching out
Then you send me
Oh, you send me back down
'Cause you take me halfway
Halfway to heaven
Then you send me
Oh, you send me back down
I can almost touch it
Oh, when we come together
But there's something always keeping me out
Oh, but there's something always keeping me out
