"Suspicious Minds"

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 say?

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So, 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
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh let our love survive
Or 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 doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

Why don't you know
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why don't you know
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why don't you know
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why don't you know
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby...

Suspicious Minds by Elvis Presley.

"Suspicious Minds" is a song written and first recorded by American songwriter Mark James. After James' recording failed commercially, the song was handed to Elvis Presley by producer Chips Moman, becoming a number one song in 1969, and one of the most notable hits of Presley's career. "Suspicious Minds" was widely regarded as the single that returned Presley's career success, following his '68 Comeback Special. It was his eighteenth and last number-one single in the United States. Rolling Stone ranked it No. 91 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Session guitarist Reggie Young played on both the James and Presley versions.

Release and performances
Presley first performed the song at the Las Vegas International Hotel (later renamed the Hilton) on July 31, 1969, and the 45 rpm single was released 26 days later. It reached number one in the United States in the week of November 1 and stayed there for that week.[14] It would be Presley's final number-one single in the U.S. before his death ("The Wonder of You" in 1970, "Way Down" in 1977, and a posthumous remixed release of "A Little Less Conversation" in 2002 all hit number one on the British charts, followed by re-issues of several previous chart toppers in 2005).

In 2017 a fragment of Suspicious Minds was included in the Blade Runner 2049 movie along with Can't Help Falling In Love.

Elvis in Blade Runner 2049: One of the best films of last year was 'Blade Runner 2049' by director Denis Villeneuve. It was the sequel to the 1982 'Blade Runner' and stared Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford.

Set thirty years after the first film, Ryan Gosling plays K, a blade runner. And, Yes, in 2049 ELVIS is still relevant! His great musical legacy continues and his holographic image is still playing in Las Vegas. In a delightful touch ELVIS is still playing in Las Vegas but now as a hologram.

EPE's Joel Weinshanker at the time noted, 'A genuine Elvis Hologram is a big 'if'. My position is that you can never create what Elvis had, which is something you can't put a finger on or describe.' In a time when holographic entertainment seems like it's readily available and consumed, it makes sense that legends would be brought back from the dead for a constant hurrah. It'd be odd if Elvis Presley is the only famous figure that the future still holds onto, but for the King of Rock and Roll, it wouldn't be that surprising.

In the derelict Las Vegas of 2049 a malfunctioning hologram of Elvis Presley keeps flashing in and outplaying 'Suspicious Minds', the lyrics of which touch on the film's theme.

After Elvis sings 'Can't Help Falling In Love' Harrison Ford comments, 'Listen to this, this was my favourite Elvis song' Was this because, as a replicant, he couldn't feel love?
