Release date: 1969
"Suspicious Minds" is a 1968 song written and first recorded by American songwriter Mark James. After this recording failed commercially, it was cut by Elvis Presley with producer Chips Moman, becoming a No. 1 song in 1969 and one of the most memorable hits of Presley's career. "Suspicious Minds" it was his eighteenth and last No.1 single in the United States. Rolling Stone ranked it No. 91 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. This song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
In this song, the trust is gone, replaced with a toxic suspicion that is making the couple miserable. The song is sung from the guy's perspective, seems he's been accused of cheating and his partner doesn't believe a word he says. He turns the tables, telling her that her suspicions are killing him and asking for a fresh start so they can build their dreams. It's not clear if he's really been unfaithful or if he's been wrongly accused.

LYRICS
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
Don't you know I'm
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Don't you know I'm
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Don't you know I'm
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Don't you know I'm
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Don't you know I'm
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Don't you know I'm
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
