I don't want you,
But I hate to lose you,
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
I forgive you,
'Cause I can't forget you,
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
I ought to cross you off my list,
But when you come a knockin' at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I keep runnin' back for more!
I should hate you,
But I guess I love you,
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
< instrumental bridge >
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
< instrumental bridge >
Hmm, you got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
I ought to cross you off my list,
But when you come a knockin' at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I keep runnin' back for more!
Hmm, I should hate you,
But I guess I love you,
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
You got me in between
The devil . . . and the deep blue sea! . . . and the deep blue sea!
