I don’t want you,
But I hate to lose you,
You’ve got me inbetween the devil and the deep blue sea.
I forgive you,
'Cause I can’t forget you,
You’ve got me inbetween the devil and the deep blue sea.
I ought to cross you off my list,
But when you come knocking at my door,
Fate seems to give my heart a twist,
And I come running back for more.
I should hate you,
But I guess I love you,
You’ve got me inbetween the devil and the deep blue sea.
