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 doin' to me When you don't believe a word I say? We can't go on together With suspicious minds (with suspicious minds) And we can't build our dreams On suspicious minds So if an old friend I know Stops 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 the tears are real, I'm cryin' (yes, I'm crying) We can't go on together With suspicious minds (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 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 doin' to me When you don't believe a word I say? Well, don't you know I'm Caught in a trap? I can't walk out Because I love you too much, baby Well, don't you know I'm Caught in a trap? I can't walk out Because I love you too much, baby Well, don't you know I'm Caught in a trap? I can't walk out Because I love you too much, baby

A gravação de “Suspicious Minds” por Elvis aconteceu em uma sessão madrugada de 23 de janeiro de 1969, das 4 h às 7 h, e Mark James, autor da canção, evitou o estúdio por acreditar que sua presença poderia “jogar mau agouro”.
O produtor Felton Jarvis adicionou um fade‑out de 15 segundos perto dos 3:36 da música, interrompendo o verso e depois trazendo a faixa novamente, decisão que o engenheiro Chips Moman considerou “uma cicatriz” na gravação.
O arranjo instrumental combina guitarra elétrica, baixo, órgão, cordas, trompetes, trombones e bateria, e no bridge a métrica muda de 4/4 para 6/8 antes de retornar ao compasso original.
A faixa contou com o futuro vocalista dos Grateful Dead, Donna Jean Godchaux, nos backing vocals, antes de sua fama com a banda.
“Suspicious Minds” chegou ao topo da Billboard Hot 100 em 1 de novembro de 1969, tornando‑se o décimo‑oitavo e último número 1 de Elvis nos Estados Unidos.
Desde a sua estreia, a música foi incluída em trilhas sonoras de filmes como *Breathless* (1983), *Lilo & Stitch* (2002) e *Blade Runner 2049* (2017), além de aparecer em séries como *Dark* (2019) e *Love Island* (2020).
