Caught In The Act lyrics

No, no, no, no, no

The hands on the clock keep on turnin'

The midnight lamp keeps on burnin' 

My resolution's gettin' stronger

As you stay away for longer

Pulled the wool right over my eyes

But boy, you're in for a big surprise

Tonight when you're away from home,

I won't be waitin' there alone

In brightest day, in blackest night

No evil shall escape my sight

[Chorus]

You're caught in the act 

It's a fact 

In the arms of another

Caught in the act

It's a fact 

In the arms of another

Night after night, hmph! You are never home!

I was tired of bein' alone

I didn't know where I would find you,

So I followed close behind you

I was tired of never knowin'

All those nights, where were you goin'?

I thought I couldn't take any more

When I saw you knockin' on her door

I didn't want to spy on you,

But what else was there to do?

In brightest day, in blackest night

No evil shall escape my sight

[Chorus]

(You're caught in the act)

In the act

(It's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact)

(Caught in the act)

In the act

(It's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact) 

(I'ts a fact) 

I just can't believe this, it just can't be true!

I'm goin' on without you

I watched you put your arms around her

It made me so mad that you found her

I looked in the window to see whether

You were makin' love together

All those nights I thought you were workin' late,

I never dreamed you made a date

So don't you come home and use your key

You better, better stay away from me

In brightest day, in blackest night

No evil shall escape my sight  

[Chorus]

(Caught in the act)

In the act

(It's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact)

It's a fact, it's a fact

(Caught in the act)

In the act

(It's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact) 

It's a fact

(It's a fact) 

I'm not gonna sit around here waitin' for you!

'Cause you and I are through

I watched you put your arms around her

It made me so mad that you found her

I looked into the window to see whether

You were makin' love together

All those nights I thought you were workin' late,

I never dreamed you made a date

So don't you come home and use your key

You better, better stay away from me

In brightest day, in blackest night

No evil shall escape my sight  

[Chorus]

(Caught in the act)

I didn't know I would find you

(It's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact) 

So I followed close behind you

(Caught in the act)

You put your arms around her

(It's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact)

I was mad that you found her

(Caught in the act)  

So don't you use your key

(It's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact)  

Stay away from me

(Caught in the act)

You knocked on her door

(It's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact, it's a fact)  

I couldn't take any more 

(Caught in the act)
