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!

   Hmm, you got me in between
   The devil and the deep blue sea!
  
   I ought to cross you off my list,

   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!
