Of the four songs JC Chasez wrote for the group, Wild Orchid, this was the only song released by RCA (as a B-side single). If you listened to the A-side single, "Stuttering", then you'll understand why this song was paired with it.
Lyrically, the song is fairly written on the cheating/lies theme. The song is basically gender-neutral; the words, "boy" and "girl", can be interchanged if a male group covered the song.
Musically, the melody is strong. The accompaniment also adds anger and power.

Chorus:
Boy, it comes as no surprise
As when I look into your eyes
I see all those other girls
You've been caught telling those lies
Boy, I knew it from the start
So, you could never break my heart
(You) Didn't think I was this wise
You've been caught telling those lies
You tried to play me
Baby, you must have been crazy
Running around having your fun (oh)
All the while, you thought you'd have it easy
Saying that I'm the only one (oh)
But -
1 - I know what you're doing
2 - Who you think you're fooling?
3 - Did you think I couldn't see?
I wasn't home watching tv.
Chorus
Let's get straight to the point
Every time that you went out
I knew what you were about
Wondering how I found out
That you were cheating on me
How could you be so cruel
You tried to hide the truth behind the wall
But -
1 - I know what you're doing
2 - Who you think you're fooling?
3 - Did you think I couldn't see?
I wasn't home watching tv.
Chorus
You've been caught telling me lies
You've been caught telling those lies
You've been caught telling me lies
You've been caught telling those lies
You've been caught telling me lies
I wasn't at home waiting
Baby, I was out there playing you (yeah)
You were out there
You were playing
I wasn't home (at home, at home)
Sitting waiting
You were out there
You were playing
I wasn't home (at home, at home)
Sitting waiting
Chorus x 2
