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
And we can’t build our dreams
On suspicious mindsSo, 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 cryingWe can’t go on together
With suspicious minds
And 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-o, Never lied to youWe’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, BabyWe’re caught in a trap
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, BabyWe’re caught in a trap
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, Baby…
