About The Song

I believe there has been a misunderstanding. The song “Suspicion” was originally recorded by Elvis Presley in 1962. Terry Stafford’s version, which became a major hit in 1964, was a cover of Presley’s recording.

Here’s a brief paragraph about the song:

“Suspicion,” a classic rock and roll ballad penned by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, was first recorded by Elvis Presley in 1962. Its haunting melody and heartfelt lyrics about unrequited love resonated with audiences. In 1964, Terry Stafford’s cover version reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, further solidifying the song’s enduring popularity. Stafford’s rendition, with its distinctive vocal style, captured the essence of the original while adding his own unique interpretation.

Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics!

Ev’rytime you kiss me
I’m still not certain that you love me
Ev’ry 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 thereSuspicion torments my heart
Suspicion keeps us apart
Suspicion why torture me

Ev’rytime 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’re out of sight?

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
