Wha'd ja do to me?
Oh, what did you do to me?
I was happy without you,
But honey you made me care about you,
Oh!

Wha'd ja do that for?
I'm not happy any more!
You always keep me guessin' where I'm at,
You're mean to me like that!
Oh-ohh-oh-oh-ohhh!

I just seem to be
'Twixt the devil and the deep blue sea,
So give me love or liberty!
Wha'd ja do to me?
Oh baby, what did you do to me?
Oh!

I'm upset,
You say you upset,
And honey I've been worried since we met;
Where is this love leadin' to?
Where is this love leadin' to?

Oh, I'm in doubt,
You so in doubt!
And I know you know what it's all about;
It's on account of you!
It's on account of you!

Wha'd ja do to me?
What did you do to me?
Oh!
I was happy without you,
You made me tell about you!

Wha'd ja do that for?
I'm not happy any more!
You always keep me guessin' where I'm at,
You're mean to me like that!

I don't know what to do
Or where I am at!

Oh, I seem to be
'Twixt the devil and the deep blue sea,
Give me love or liberty!
Wha'd ja do to me?
Oh, what did you do to me?
Oh!
