Suspecious Feelings

What thoughts come to your mind when I stay out late at nights?
Do you get the feeling that I’m seeing someone else?
You went to the drive-in cinema with your best friend.
I knew she'd tell you false tales about me.
But don’t be misled by mischievous hearsay.
She just wants to see our marriage break up.

Why do you bug me about my faithfulness to you?
Darling, did I ever give you cause to doubt me?
Every time I give an explanation, you're sceptical about my alibis.
The rose shade on my collar isn’t what you think it is.
It’s just a stain from a strawberry candy of a toddler that I held.
And the woman that I was talking to on the phone is my mom.

I didn’t think for one minute that you’d be so darned suspicious.
Not after all the ups and downs that we’ve been through.
However, I must make a confession to you:
I trust you almost completely because you’ve never lied to me.
But I wonder what you do when you’re out of my sight.
And I can’t help but have suspicious feelings about you.
