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
