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   Tellin' me   You're doing all the things you used to do again      I know your history   But I 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 the speed of light   So when the cat's 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 your ol' games      I know your history   But I 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 the speed of light   So when the cat's 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 x 2      They say   That you can't teach on old dog brand new tricks   And baby my friend's tallin' me that you won't change   And maybe they're right, there's just one thing you should know   If you break 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 the speed of light   So when the cat's 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 x 3
