Juliet's material has encompassed traditional jazz interpretation as well as contemporary R&B , hip-hop influenced Brit-pop, and full-on House Anthems (most notably "Caught Up in the Middle", which stormed world dance charts in a variety of gospel-tinged remixes in 1994). She is an excellent example of the "workaday" talent that exists behind the scenes of the industry; usually fortifying the efforts of "name" artists, but occasionally breaking out on its own terms for the much-earned "hit" here and there.
Caught In The Middle
Juliet Roberts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's how you came to me
In my image of excellence and passion
Were my eyes mistreating me?
It's not fair how you broke down my defences
Was it really true that you weren't free
Oh I don't care 'cause I'm living for the moment
My heart beats like a drum
My heart beats
Heart beats like a drum
My heart beats
Heart beats like a drum
Now I'm caught
Caught in the middle of love
Caught in the middle of you
Caught in the middle of L.O.V.E. love
My heart
Caught in the middle of love
Caught in the middle of you
Caught in the middle of L.O.V.E. love
Well life's so complicated
Deep inside I knew that things would change
We have played the game of love for many hours
Openly till dawn kisses the day
It's not fair how you broke down my defences
Guess it's really true that you weren't free
Oh I didn't care 'cause I'm living for the moment
Remembering the very first time
My heart beats like a drum
It goes boom boom boom
My heart beats
Heart beats like a drum
it goes boom boom boom
My heart beats
Heart beats like a drum
Like I'm cought
Oh oh my heart beats
Heart beats like a drum
It goes boom boom boom boom boom
My heart beats
Heart beats like a drum
Caught in the middle of love
Caught in the middle of you
Caught in the middle of L.O.V.E. love

Line by Line Meaning
Like a cool water from an oasis
You came to me when I needed someone - a relief to my exhaustion
That's how you came to me
You appeared out of nowhere - a mystery in my life
In my image of excellence and passion
I saw myself as a perfect being with desires strong as fire
Were my eyes mistreating me?
Was I hallucinating or imagining you into my life?
It's not fair how you broke down my defences
You invaded my private self without respecting my boundaries
Was it really true that you weren't free
Were you honest with me about your situation or were you lying?
Oh I don't care 'cause I'm living for the moment
I'm not concerned about tomorrow, I'm just enjoying this moment with you
Remembering the very first time
Recalling the moment my heart skipped a beat when I met you
My heart beats like a drum
My heart is pounding rapidly with love and excitement
Now I'm caught
I'm trapped in this cycle of love and cannot escape
Caught in the middle of love
I'm entangled and conflicted in my feelings for you
Caught in the middle of you
I'm in the center of the confusion and attraction I feel for you
Caught in the middle of L.O.V.E. love
I'm in the thick of the strong emotions that come with love
Well life's so complicated
The complexities of life are overwhelming
Deep inside I knew that things would change
I had a feeling that our relationship wouldn't last forever
We have played the game of love for many hours
We've been in this relationship for a long time, experiencing both good and bad moments
Openly till dawn kisses the day
We have confessed our love for each other until sunrise, where the day begins anew
Guess it's really true that you weren't free
Finally, I accept that you've been honest about your freedom and capability to love me
Oh I didn't care 'cause I'm living for the moment
But even with the newfound knowledge, I'm choosing to live in the moment without caring about the future
it goes boom boom boom
The rhythm of my heart beating is fast and intense
Like I'm caught
I'm caught in the endless cycle of love, uncertain of what the future holds
