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'd 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 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 The devil and the deep blue sea It's the well known runaround that you're giving me I suppose you'll tell me I'm all wrong
