Suspicions rising, answers aren't clear
I thought we made a promise, now you've disappeared
You seem to lead two lives at a time
Do I still fit in, I thought you were mine
Sitting at the bar in our favorite cafe
I turn and see ya laughin' with her and your smile fades away
Didn't surprise me, there's nothin' left to say
I caught you red-handed now and you can't walk away

CHORUS:
You were caught in the act
When you thought I wasn't lookin' at ya
C.I.T.A., I can see what you're doin'
Caught in the act, and I can't stand to hear your lies
Caught in the act, don't you try and change my mind

You called me the only, you said, "she's only a friend"
Don't pretend you're sorry, my heart will mend
Don't you come back to me, don't you try to call
You couldn't hold my heart with love, now you can't hold me at all

CHORUS

Caught in the act, caught in the act
Caught in the act, C.I.T.A.
Caught in the act, caught in the act
Caught in the act, C.I.T.A.
