When The Cats Away

(앨범: Play It Like That - 2001)

I can't deny
Things have been good
But I don't know why
They don't quite seem what they should
My only evidence is my sixth sense
Telling me
You're doing all the things you used to do
Do again

I know your history
But don't think
You can do those things to me

When the cat's away the mice will play
But think about the price you pay
You can run, you can hide
Deny and lie
But words travel faster than speed of light
So when the cats away the mice will play
But don't you play that stunt on me
Cause I spy with my little eye
And if I catch you, bye bye

Well, hear me out
When I'm out of town
It doesn't give
You a license to fool around
I feel it
You haven't changed
I believe it
You're back to playing you're ol games

I know your history
But don't think
You can do those things to me

When the cat's away the mice will play
But think about the price you pay
You can run, you can hide
Deny and lie
But words travel faster than speed of light
So when the cats away the mice will play
But don't you play that stunt on me
Cause I spy with my little eye
And if I catch you, bye bye
[x2]

They say that you can't teach an old dog brand new tricks
And baby my friends tellin me that you won't change
And maybe they're right, the promise you made to me
On the count of three
You, be, out

When the cat's away the mice will play
But think about the price you pay
You can run, you can hide
Deny and lie
But words travel faster than speed of light
So when the cats away the mice will play
But don't you play that stunt on me
Cause I spy with my little eye
And if I catch you, bye bye
