Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea Lyrics

[Intro]
One, a two, a one, two, three

[Verse 1]
I don't want you but I hate to lose you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

[Verse 2]
I forgive you because I can't forget you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
I should hate you but I guess I love you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

[Acoustic Guitar and Piano Solos]

[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
I should hate you but I guess I love you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

[Outro]
You got me in between the devil and the deep
(The devil and the deep)
The devil and the deep blue sea

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
