Every time you kiss me, I'm still not certain that you love me Every time you hold me, I'm still not certain that you care Though you keep on saying you really, really, really love me Do you speak the same words to someone else when I'm not there Suspicion torments my heart Suspicion keeps us apart Suspicion why torture me Every time you call me and tell me we should meet tomorrow I can't help but think that you're meeting someone else tonight Why should our romance just keep on causing me such sorrow Why am I so doubtful whenever you are out of sight Suspicion torments my heart Suspicion keeps us apart Suspicion why torture me Darling, if you love me, I beg you wait a little longer Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger Maybe I'm suspicious 'cause true love is so hard to find Suspicion torments my heart Suspicion keeps us apart Suspicion why torture me
