I was reaching out for you, you were reaching out for me But only rarely would we ever hold hands There would be nights when we'd drink liquor and make our way to bed Most mornings we'd awaken and regret the things that we had said Well the flowers in the vase are all dead and brown And dancing in the hallway is just a memory for us now , Oh Oh Because there's you and me and the devil in between yes there's a devil in between you and me And it's plain to see darling , we can never be there's a devil in between you and me, you and me You wrote me letter once, explaining how you felt Well it burned my eyes and it burned my throat cause it was the truth that I read And I told I still loved you and you turned me and with a tear you simply said I know Oh well the flowers in the vase are all dead and brown And dancing in the hallway is just a memory for us now , oh oh Because there's you and me and the devil in between Yes there's a devil in between you and me And it's plain to see darling we can never be There's a devil in between you and me , you and me Oh oh oh, Oh oh, oh oh , Oh oh , Oh oh Oh oh oh, Oh oh, Oh oh , Oh oh , Oh oh We try and try we push and pull Nothing we could say could make this devil fade away We try and try we push and pull Nothing we could say could make this devil fade away Well the flowers in the vase are all dead and brown And dancing in the hallway is just a memory for us now , oh oh Because there's you and me and the devil in between Yes there's a devil in between you and me You and me
