"Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea" lyrics - LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III

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 cannot see?
It's a well know 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

[Orchestra]

I should hate you but I guess, I love you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
