Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea

Carmen McRae · Other Songs - Carmen McRae

Is there anyone around who cannot 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.



[Chorus]

I don't want you,

But I hate to lose you,

You've 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 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 in between

The devil and the deep blue sea.
