Been Caught Stealing Lyrics
Once, when I was five
I enjoy stealing
It's just as simple as that
Well, it's just a, simple fact
When I want something
And I don't want to pay for it
I walk right through the door
I walk right through the door
Hey, all right!
If I get by, it's mine
Mine all mine!
(Hey)
She'll go and get her skirt
Stick it in her shirt
She grabbed a razor for me
And she, did it, just like that
When she wants something man
She don't want to pay for it
She'll walk right, through the door
Walk right through the door
Hey all right!
If I get by, it's mine
Mine all mine!
(Let's Go)
We sat and laughed
We sat and laughed and waved it into the air
And we, did it, just like that
When we want something man
We don't want to pay for it
We walk right, through the door
Walk right through the door
Hey, all right!
If I get by, it's mine!
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
It's MINE!

anna118k, if you do not like this song, if it does not make you dance, if it does not make you smile and sing then you are a twat.
amen
amen

first heard this song on GTA. Great song. I love the vocals, it screams 90s

This album is about a love and drug triangle, between two members of the band and a woman. So I always thought "stealing" had to do with romantic jealousy... it's exciting, but it's petty and unproductive. You cannot make a solid living taking razors and skirts, you can't make a solid love life just from cheating and open arrangements.
Enjoy the thrill but admit it's a little hollow.

For me the song celebrated getting on with something in any regard, be it knowing. The fact that the lyrics draw on one theme is hilarious. Then again, Jesus is said to have been crucified by two thieves.... well... UnderCaliSun

thank you jared

I love this song, it's so funny. If anyone else had recorded this song, they would have sounded like a bunch of toss artists, but with Jane's Addiction, this shit rules, that's why i love them...

nice bass line in this song

Yeah, damn amercian's need to learn some foreign insults. I personally love this song, but i can understand why anna118k wouldn't, it can get annoying. So give some of their other stuff a chance.
P.S. Anyone who hates this song has to be a BIT of a twat. But i won't hold that against you.
why the fuck would we need to learn foreign insults?
why the fuck would we need to learn foreign insults?

i like this song becauase i was recently caught stealing in a department store and now i can relate.

This song is boss, ive heard "just because" by jane's addiction and i think that song is class as well but i wouldn't know what else to listen to by em'. Anyone suggest anything?. By the way i believe this song is about a thief The End
