Loudon Wainwright III - Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

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've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

I want 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 in between the devil and the deep blue sea

Is there anyone around who can not see
It's the well known runaround you're giving me
I suppose you'll tell me I'm all wrong

It's a bitter pill to take coming from you
Though I've made a big mistake
What Can I do?
I don't know what makes me string along

I should hate you

But I guess I love you

You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
