Dwight Yoakam Suspicious Minds 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’m saying
We can’t go on together
With suspicious minds
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
Can’t you see these tears are real
I’m crying
We can’t go on together
With suspicious minds
We can’t build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh, let our love survive
I’ll dry the tears from your eyes
Let’s don’t let a good thing die
Honey, you know
I’ve never lied to you
No, never lie to you, 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’m saying
We’re caught in a trap
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
We’re caught in a trap
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
We’re caught in a trap
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
