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
