Louis Armstrong – Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea lyrics
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

I oughta cross you off my list
But when you come knockin' at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I come running back for more

I should hate you
But mama, I guess instead I love you
You've got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea
