Suspicious Mind(words & music by Mark James)
We're caught in a trapI can't walk outBecause I love you too much baby
Why can't you seeWhat you're doin' to meWhen you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on togetherWith suspicious minds (Suspicious minds)And we can't build our dreamsOn suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I knowDrops by to say helloWould I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go againAskin' where I've beenYou can't see these tears are realI'm cryin' (Yes, I'm cryin')
We can't go on togetherWith suspicious minds (Suspicious minds)And we can't build our dreamsOn suspicious minds
Oh let our love surviveAh dry the tears from your eyesLet's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you knowI've never lied to youMm, mm, mm, mm, mmYeah, yeah
We're caught in a trapI can't walk outBecause I love you too much baby
Why can't you seeWhat you're doin' to meWhen you don't believe a word I say?
Now don't you know I'mCaught in a trapI can't walk outBecause I love you too much baby
