I'm so mixed up
Hm, I don't know where to turn
I've been loved by two women
One is my wife, the other one is my woman
Listen to me!
And just when you thought of leaving either one of them
Would really blow their mind, hm
Oh, listen
My wife, she's silky black
And she's a pretty thing
And my woman is such a lovely brown, oh!
Y'all, I'm stuck (stuck), stuck in the middle!
Can't you see I am stuck (stuck), of course I am (stuck in the middle)
I don't know where to turn, hm
Oh, listen to me!
My wife, she said she's mine, oh yes, she did
She said she's mine, mine until death do us part
Listen to what my woman said
My woman said she's mine also
'Cause I live every day within your heart, oh!
Y'all, I'm stuck (stuck), look at me, stuck in the middle
Please, baby (stuck, stuck in the middle!) Oh, honey, help me if you can
'Cause I'm stuck (stuck), yes, I am (stuck in the middle)
Somebody pray for me (stuck), stuck in the middle!
If I leave my wife for my woman, oh, I know
I know, I know, my wife won't understand that, no, she won't
And if I leave my woman for my wife
Oh, I know, I know, I know my woman won't understand me no more
Y'all, I'm stuck (stuck), stuck in the middle!
Can't you see I'm stuck (stuck), stuck in the middle?
You know, I was talking to my wife the other day
And she said, "Marvin, do you remember the vow you made
When we got married?" And I said, "Yes"
"Well, do you remember the minister asking you these words
'Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?'"
Oh, I never will forget to love, to honor, to cherish
'Til death do you part, she said, "Marvin, you said, 'Yes'"
She said, "Please don't leave me, Marvin"
But I've moved on and began to talk to my woman
I never will forget this
She said, "Marvin, when you were doing bad
When all your friends turned against you"
She said, "I stuck by you, Marvin
It was me, please don't leave me"
I just stood there with tears in my eyes
I never will forget it, you know what I said?
Y'all, I'm stuck (stuck), stuck in the middle!
Somebody pray for me (stuck, stuck in the middle), I don't know what to do with myself
'Cause I'm stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck in the middle
