Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caught in a trap
Can't get out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doin' to me
When you don't believe a word I say
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
We cannot build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Well, there's an old friend I know
Stopped by to say hello
Well, I still see suspicious in your eyes
Here you 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 cannot build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh, let our love survive
I'll dry these tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
Baby, you know, I'd never lie to you
No, never lie to you
Yeah, yeah
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doin' to me
When you don't believe a word I'm saying
Caught in a trap
Can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Caught in a trap
Can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
We're caught in a trap
We can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
The lyrics to "Suspicious Minds" by Dwight Yoakam speak about a relationship that is full of mistrust and suspicion. The singer is caught in a trap, unable to escape because he loves his partner too much. The partner does not believe him when he speaks, causing the singer to feel trapped and hopeless. The chorus of the song is about how two people cannot build a happy, fulfilling life together if they cannot trust one another. The singer has been accused of infidelity by his partner, who keeps asking where he's been, making him feel frustrated and helpless.
The lyrics suggest a relationship that is on the brink of collapse due to mistrust and suspicion. The singer feels trapped, unable to prove his innocence, and is crying. He pleads with his partner to stop this mistrust and suspicion and save their love. The song's message appears to be that mistrust is a relationship killer, and without trust, love has no chance of survival.

Faço 50 anos dia 26/08/2017 e Elvis Presley faz parte de minha vida, os filmes da sessão da tarde... Qualquer música com ouço dele me arranca lágrimas. Jesus Cristo é minha vida, Elvis uma bela lembrança.

Não é a toa que era o Rei do Rock, Elvis é eterno, tenho 48 anos, tinha 2 anos quando ele morreu, e sou fã dele sem praticamente ter vivido na mesma época que ele, Elvis para sempre...

This version is amazing! I believe Elvis would have loved this. He is so missed all over the world. I can tell u I miss him everyday of my life! Listen to his music every single day and it makes me so happy. Love his gospel music as well. He will live on forever in my heart. Lots of hugs to an amazing entertainer & a man that gave so much of his heart to everyone. Long live Elvis Aaron Presley forever!!❤

So sad that he never got to see that world out there and the meaning his music gave to so many of us.

Muito bom!!! Um holograma que arrepia!!!! Um arranjo top dando uma performance contemporânea sem perder as origens do clássico Rock!!! Outro ponto positivo foi a remasterização da voz do Elvis!!! Um trabalho muito bem desenvolvido!!!!!
