A flexible pianist and keyboardist, Bobby Lyle has long straddled the boundaries between straight-ahead and more commercial forms of jazz. He grew up in Minneapolis and at age six took piano lessons from his mother, who was a church organist. Lyle played clarinet for a period in junior high school before switching back to piano. He considers Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, Bill Evans, Erroll Garner, and Art Tatum to have been his early influences. Lyle's first gig was when he was 16 and, after two years of college, in 1964 he became a full-time musician. He spent six years playing locally in Minneapolis and then toured for two years with Young-Holt Unlimited. After returning to Minneapolis for local work (recording a set in 1974 that was released just in Japan), in 1976 Lyle moved to Los Angeles where he quickly got a job with Sly & the Family Stone. After playing with Ronnie Laws, he recorded two solo albums for Capitol. Lyle made guest appearances on recordings by George Benson, Phyllis Hyman, and Esther Phillips and in the early '80s toured with Benson and became Bette Midler's musical director. After two years with Al Jarreau, Lyle recorded a straight-ahead combo date for King (which was reissued as an Evidence CD), conducted for Anita Baker in 1986, and worked with Gerald Albright. In 1988 he began a long association with Atlantic that resulted in the release of six albums between 1989 and 1997, with Pianomagic, a 1991 album of piano solos, being one of the highlights of his career. Bobby Lyle has remained a highly versatile and valuable keyboardist as both leader and sideman during the new millennium, releasing such albums as 2002's Joyful, 2004's Straight and Smooth, and 2006's Hands On on independent labels. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who been doin it my way
Gettin my bread for years
In my career
And every lover

I hid love and left her tear
Without a care

The lyrics of Bobby Lyle's song "Caught Up" tell the story of a man who has always done things his way and never cared about the women in his life. However, he meets a woman who changes his perspective and gets him "caught up" in his emotions. He is confused about his newfound feelings and realizes that he is losing control and cannot resist her hold on him. The song explores the themes of vulnerability, love, and losing control.
The line "Be careful who you do cuz karma comes back around" is a reference to the concept of karma, which states that what goes around comes around.
The phrase "caught up" is a slang term that means being emotionally invested in something or someone.
The line "She caught me by surprise" suggests that the man did not expect to fall in love with this woman and is now struggling to understand his feelings.
The line "I know how to put it down" implies that the man is confident in his abilities to satisfy women but was not prepared for this particular woman's hold on him.
The line "My homies say this girl is crampin my style" suggests that the man's friends are concerned that his love for this woman is affecting his lifestyle.
The line "This girl was mean she really turned me out" implies that the woman has a powerful and irresistible personality that has turned the man's world upside down.
The repetition of the phrase "Caught up" emphasizes the man's confusion and the intensity of his emotions.
The song's instrumentation and melody create a smooth, soulful vibe that complements the lyrics' themes of love and vulnerability.
The song has been sampled by various artists, such as N.O.R.E. and 50 Cent, for their own tracks.

Line by Line Meaning
I'm the kinda brotha
I am the type of person
Who been doin it my way
Who has been living life on my own terms
Gettin my bread for years
Earning money for a long period of time
In my career
Through my professional life
And every lover
And every romantic partner
In and out my life
Who has come in and out of my life
I hid love and left her tear
I concealed my love and caused emotional pain to my partner
Without a care
Without any remorse
Until I met this girl who turned the tables around
Until I met this girl who changed the dynamic of our relationship
She caught me by surprise
She surprised me with her actions
I never thought I'd be the one breaking down
I never expected to be the vulnerable one in the relationship
I cant figure it out why I'm so
I cannot understand why I am
Caught up
Completely engrossed
Got me feelin it
Causing me to feel strongly
I dont know what it is
I am unsure of what is causing this feeling
(But she's got me twisted)
(But she has me confused and lost in my emotions)
But it seems she got me twisted
But it appears that she has me confused and unsure
I'm so
I am very
Loosin control
Losing my grip on the situation
This girls got a hold on me
This girl has a strong influence over me
Oh no
Expressing concern or doubt
Let me go baby
Asking to be released from the girl's influence
Now listen
Pay attention to what I am about to say
My momma told me
My mother advised me
Be careful who you do cuz karma comes back around
Be cautious about who you have relationships with because consequences will follow
Same ol song
The same warning that has been given many times before
But I was so sure
But I was confident and certain
It wouldn't happen to me
That the consequences wouldn't affect me
Cuz I know how to put it down
Because I know how to handle myself in relationships
But I was so wrong
But my assumption was incorrect
This girl was mean she really turned me out
This girl was tough and had a significant impact on me
My homies say this girl is crampin my style
My friends say this girl is affecting my image and status among them
Caught up
Completely engrossed
Really feelin it
Feeling it intensely
I'm losing control
I am losing my grip on the situation
I'm so caught up
I am completely engrossed
I dont know what it is but it seems shes got me twisted
I don't know what's happening but it feels like the girl has me confused
