Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don’t even wanna answer right now
If she knew what I was doing in this bed
She could have a heart attack right now
I met a chick up in doa
Saying she wanna live here with me
In the W a quarter past three
She’s telling me she’s a certified freak
The way she worked that back
I can feel, oh shorty put it on me like that
Girl, tonight she ain’t … to buy the city
I’m a temptation, give you sensations
Nobody has to know
Girl I swear you got a nigga caught up
Fuck around and get me caught up
You know I got a girl at the crib
When I see her I just wanna get it in
You got me caught up
Been at it for a week by now
Matter of fact we in the sheets right now
Too late for me to turn back
‘Cause I’m in too deep right now
She got me creeping all late at night
How can something so wrong feel right?
… her body’s so tight
She let me kiss it anywhere I like
It’s crazy how she worked that back
The way she worked that back
Yeah, shorty, put it on me like that
…. your name …. buy the city
I’m a temptation, give you sensations
Nobody has to know
Girl I swear you got a nigga caught up
Fuck around and get me caught up
You know I got a girl at the crib
When I see her I just wanna get it in
You got me caught up
I’m a temptation, give you sensations
Nobody has to know
Girl I swear you got a nigga caught up
Fuck around and get me caught up
You know I got a girl at the crib
When I see her I just wanna get it in
You got me caught up
The lyrics to Adrian Marcel's song "Caught Up" narrates the story of a man who is cheating on his girlfriend. The singer is conversing over the phone with his girlfriend, who is trying to contact him. He is currently in bed with another woman and does not want to answer the call because he fears being caught. He is amazed by the woman's sexual prowess and how she can twist and move her body so effortlessly. Despite knowing that he should not be engaging in this behavior, he continues to do so, and he feels guilty about it.
The song showcases the guilt and shame that the singer feels about his infidelity. He is aware that he is being disloyal to his girlfriend, and he knows that this behavior is wrong, but he cannot resist the temptation. The lyrics highlight the struggle between desire and morality and the unfortunate consequences of pursuing instantaneous gratification.
