I've been caught stealing Once when I was 5 I enjoy stealing It's just as simple as that Well, it's just a simple fact When I want something I don't want to pay for it I walk right through the door Walk right through the door Hey all right! If I get by, it's mine Mine all mine My girl, she's one too She'll go and get her a skirt Stick it under her shirt She grabbed a razor for me And she did it just like that When she wants something She don't want to pay for it She 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 around the pile 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 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

“Been Caught Stealing” foi lançada no álbum *Ritual de lo Habitual* de 1990 e depois reapareceu na coletânea *Up From The Catacombs* de 2006.
A faixa se tornou o maior sucesso da banda, permanecendo quatro semanas em primeiro lugar na parada U.S. Modern Rock Chart.
O ritmo da música destaca marcantes influências funk da Jane’s Addiction, o que inspirou o Red Hot Chili Peppers a convidar o guitarrista Dave Navarro quando John Frusciante saiu temporariamente.
Na introdução da canção, podem ser ouvidos latidos de cães, um efeito sonoro que sugere que o vocalista está fugindo de vigilantes caninos.
Há interpretações diferentes sobre a letra: alguns ouvintes veem uma referência à cleptomania, enquanto outros acreditam que o refrão “when we want something and we don't want to pay for it” aponta para uma postura anárquica contra a propriedade privada.
