Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (After Glow) - Carmen McRae

Is there anyone around who cannot see

It’s the well known runaround that 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 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

Well, I ought to cross you off my list

But when you come a-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
