Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
Paul Weston Lyrics

I don't want you, but I'd hate to lose you
I have mixed feelings about our relationship. I don't necessarily want it, but at the same time, I don't want to lose it.

You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
I feel trapped and stuck between two equally difficult choices or situations.

I forgive you, 'cause I can't forget you
Although I've tried to move on from what you've done, I can't seem to forget it, so I'll forgive you instead.

I ought to cross you off my list
I know I should end this relationship with you, but I can't bring myself to do it.

But when you come a-knocking at my door
Despite my reservations about us, when you reach out to me, I find it hard to resist.

Fate seems to give my heart a twist
It feels like destiny or fate is playing a part in this, making it hard for me to let go.

And I come running back for more
Even though I know it might not be for the best, I keep returning to you and our relationship.

I should hate you, but I guess I love you
Despite everything, I still have feelings for you, even though they might conflict with my logical judgment.

You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
Once again, I feel like I'm stuck between two difficult choices or situations.

The devil and the deep blue sea
The difficult choices or situations that I feel trapped between are both equally harrowing, leaving me in a state of near paralysis.
