Caught In the Middle Lyrics


Caught
(In life)
In the middle
(In love)Caught
(In life)
In the middle
(In love)Caught
(In life)
In the middle
(In love)Caught
(In life)
In the middle
(In love)Caught
(In life)
In the middle
(In love)Caught
(In life)
In the middle

(In love)Love and life a mysterious combo
Sit back relax 'cause now it's time to go
Back in my past my personal strife for being
Caught in the middle of love and lifeLove is a fairytale earthly bond
But life is true reality chimes
When life brings on love is kind of hard for you to give up
The satisfaction you started forThis is a metaphor sort of a riddle
If your confused chill and I'm sure it'll
Clear up for you in a little bit
Love and life and I'm caught in the middle of itThe middle
The middleWho or why your love ain't always right
Especially when you cross the pass of life
The wrath of life is hard 'cause your taught to dream on
But when your out in the world realities onYou found somebody to be with
You pour your lovin' in and it seems as if
Your pouring your love into a bottomless pit
You love each other but it just ain't workin'Your not meant to be together it seems like
Well, just think maybe it's things like
She work 9 to 5, you work 5 to 9
Never together two separate livesLove versus life see what I mean
You like the movies, she like the club scene
Nobody's wrong and nobody's right
Just caught in the middle of love and lifeCaught
(In life)
In the middle
(In love)Caught
(In life)
In the middle
(In love)Caught
(In life)
In the middle
(In love)Caught
(In life)
In the middle
(In love)Caught
(In life)
In the middle
(In love)Caught
(In life)
In the middle
(In love)Everybody wants to capture the rapture
Love and live happily ever after
Walking around barefoot sniffing daisies
Laying around all day long making babiesGo to France and dancin' eatin' in Sweden
Gambling in Rio, winning 'cause you're cheating
These are situations you can have some fun in
But open your eyes and real life comes running inDreaming again a plateau to come down off
Back to the world and see your love life sounds off
Start the day right call your girlfriend
But love and life start at it againShe says, baby I need to send you
You say, babe I got work to tend to
Love tells you to go be with her
But life says, boy get your butt to workThink of love and life as a rock and a hard place
Exhilarating like a high speed car chase
Heart ache, heart break cuts like a knife
Caught in the middle of love and lifeCaught
(In life)
In the middle
(In in love)Caught
(In life)
In the middle
(In in love)Caught
(In life)
In the middle
(In in love)Caught
(In life)
In the middle
(In in in love)Caught
(In life)
(In love)
Caught
(In life)
(In love)Caught
In in the middle
Caught
In the middle
Caught

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince was a 1980s and 1990s rap duo. The vocalist of this duo, Will Smith, met Jeff Townes while trying to make a name for himself in West Philadelphia’s local party/rap scene. After joining forces, the team became local celebrities. Philadelphia-based Pop Art Records released their first single, Girls Ain’t Nothing but Trouble, in late 1985, a tale of misadventures with the opposite sex. The song sampled the theme of I Dream of Jeannie. Smith became known for lighthearted, storytelling raps and capable, through curse-free, 'battle' rhymes. Townes was known for his turntable acrobatics, and is credited by many as inventing a style of scratching called "transforming".

Based off this success, the duo were brought to the attention of Jive Records and Russell Simmons’. Their first album, Rock the House, debuted on Jive in the summer of 1987. The band found themselves on their first major tour with Run DMC, Public Enemy, and others, that same year. The album sold about 300,000 units. Their 1988 follow-up hit, He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper made them multi-platinum stars. Mostly recorded in the UK, the album was rap musics’s first double-vinyl LP release (also issued as a single cassette and CD). Parents Just Don’t Understand, the lead-off single, made them MTV household names, and tracks like Brand New Funk was received well by their fans. Rock The House was re-released to gold sales later that year.

Another single, Nightmare on My Street, showcased a fictional confrontation with movie villain Freddy Krueger. Coinciding with the release of the fourth Nightmare on Elm Street film (1988’s "The Dream Master"), New Line Cinema was not pleased. A video allegedly shot for the single was buried, and a disclaimer was hastily included on pressings of the album indicating that the record was not officially affiliated with any of the "Nightmare" films (ironically, Jive Records ended up releasing the soundtrack to the next film in the series, "The Dream Child").

1989 saw the release of And In This Corner..., which sold gold, but saw the duo slip in popularity. The crossover curse of various rap acts had come to pass, as their initial audience felt they had become too accessible; non-crossover rap acts like Big Daddy Kane and Boogie Down Productions had bigger street followings; meanwhile, pop radio had latched on to new faces like Tone Loc and Young MC, while non-radio followers became more enamored with hardcore acts like Ice-T and 2 Live Crew. In a bit of mild irony, the lead single, I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson, featured the brawler in its video, but shortly after the band’s Grammy performance in 1990, Tyson lost his first fight with Buster Douglas.

Smith would later admit to a spendthrift attitude during this time, becoming near-broke, which led him to feel he had nothing to lose when a TV producer approached him to do a show on NBC. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air boosted his profile, and pocketbook, giving him the leverage to stage a comeback album, Homebase, in 1991. The platinum album featured the lead-off single Summertime, which has become one of their most enduring hits. Code Red, their last studio LP as a duo, released in 1993 to gold sales. The duo made it to the very top of the Singles charts in 1993 with the single Boom! Shake The Room.

Shortly afterward, Smith began to look at acting full-time; his movie roles increased, finally getting his first lead role in 1995’s Bad Boys. 1996’s Independence Day cemented him as a major draw, and he left the Fresh Prince that same year. Strangely, he and Townes ended up being sued by Jive, who alleged that the duo still owed them albums. In an intervew, Smith has stated that while shooting the Men in Black movie, Smith approached Jive with the "Men in Black" single; they turned him down, saying that it couldn’t be a hit. In the aftermath of the movie and soundtrack’s success, the duo settled the lawsuit out of court. Hence, their Greatest Hits compilation includes two cuts from the M.I.B. soundtrack.

Since then, of course, Smith has released three Columbia/Sony albums under his own name; a separate "solo" hits cd was released in 2003. Jazzy Jeff, meanwhile, recorded an aborted album for Columbia in 1999 (including a song with Eminem), and then independently released The Magnificent in 2002. He has also become an R&B producer of note, overseeing releases by Jill Scott and others.
