I'm so glad that I met you, baby.
And I'm so proud when we walk down the street.
And I know it's crazy to worry like I do.
But I get this feelin' that I'm losing you.
 
I get these suspicions even though 
I know that you love me, baby,
and I really shouldn't feel this way.
Suspicions, I can't help it you're just so good lookin'
I'm afraid somebody's gonna steal you away from me.
 
When I go out to a party with you
You always turn every head in the room.
And I just know what's on every man's mind
I try to fight it, but it gets me sometimes.
 
I get these suspicions even though 
I know that you love me, baby,
and I really shouldn't feel this way.
Suspicions, I can't help it you're just so good lookin'
I'm afraid somebody's gonna steal you away from me.
 
When I'm with you, I feel so satisfied.
The way you touch me when you lay by my side.
And that look you get in your eyes when we love
Makes me hate myself for what I'm thinkin' of.
 
I get these suspicions even though 
I know that you love me, baby,
and I really shouldn't feel this way.
Suspicions, I can't help it you're just so good lookin'
I'm afraid somebody's gonna steal you away from me.
 
I get these suspicions even though 
I know that you love me, baby,
and I really shouldn't feel this way.
Suspicions, I can't help it you're just so good lookin'
I'm afraid somebody's gonna steal you away from me.

Eddie Rabbitt

Edward Thomas "Eddie" Rabbitt (November 27, 1941 – May 7, 1998) was an American singer-songwriter and musician. His career began as a songwriter in the late 1960s, springboarding to a recording career after composing hits such as "Kentucky Rain" for Elvis Presley in 1970 and "Pure Love" for Ronnie Milsap in 1974. Later in the 1970s, Rabbitt helped to develop the crossover-influenced sound of country music prevalent in the 1980s with such hits as "Suspicions" and "Every Which Way but Loose." His duets "Friends and Lovers" and "You and I", with Juice Newton and Crystal Gayle respectively, later appeared on the soap operas Days of Our Lives and All My Children. more »
