Caught Up In The Middle

(album: Pieces - 1978)

Ooh-whee, boy
Somebody please come get me out of this mess
I guess this is the worst thing
Man, you could be caught up in
Caught up in a love triangle

Sally
Oh, she treats me so mean
Ha ha
But when it comes to loving
She's the best
I've ever seen
Ooh
She's got that kind of love
Oh, I just can't explain
And even though she hurts me sometimes
I keep going back again

I tried
I tried to cut the girl a-loose
But no matter how hard I tried
It just ain't no use
But when I need her
Oh, Sally's never around
When I need someone to comfort me
Sally can be found

And I'm caught up in the middle (in the middle)
Too long have I (Lord, I miss her)
I'm caught up (caught up)
Caught up in the middle (in the middle)
Never (to when)
Have I
Ooh, baby

Barbara
Bless jer heart, huh
She's always
She's always around
And she rubs my aching head
When the world gets me down

She's always
She's always just a
Phone call away
And she's at my beckoning call
Every night
And every day

But in the evening
When the sun goes down
I get that it's for Sally
When my love come tumbling down

And Barbara, yeah
Oh, how I hate to live a lie
'Cause if Barbara
Caught me cheating
It would make the little girl cry

And I'm caught up
In the middle (in the middle)
Too long have I (Lord, I miss her)
I'm caught up (caught up)
Caught up in the middle (in the middle)
To loving (to loving)
I have, baby

Hmm
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Ooh-whee, baby

If I could
If I could just take Barbara and Sally
Put them all into one
I'd have the greatest love
In the world
Under the sun, yes I would

But believe it
Lord, have mercy now
When the sun goes down
I get that itch for Sally
When my love come tumbling down

And that makes me caught up
In the middle (in the middle)
I know somebody we 'gon talk about
To long have I (to when)
Have I (have I)
Have you ever been in my way?
Caught up in the middle (in the middle)
Too long (to loving)

(I hate to see you decide)
Have I
(I hate to see you cry)
It's been awhile, have it my way
(Cry, cry, cry, cry)

Change in the situation, ooh
Somebody come and get me out of this mess
(I hate to see you cry)
I'm sick, tired
(Cry, cry, cry, cry) yeah
I'm so tired (I hate to see you cry)

I don't wanna see mama cry
(Cry, cry, cry, cry)
Oh, no, no, no, no
(I hate to see you cry)
He-hey, he-hey, hehehe-hehey
