From the recording Blood and Beer and Poetry (Download version)
Jealousy, betrayal. She does him wrong, but then again, maybe he had it coming. He's not a nice guy, jealous and untrusting from the get-go. But she pays him back, and in spades. That's why they call it the Blues.
Lyrics
Suspicious
I am suspicious of you baby, and all that you do
I am suspicious of you baby, and all that you do
Coming home at four o’clock in the morning when bar time is two
Yeah, bar time is two
You say you were with a friend, met her downtown at ten
You say you were with a friend, met her downtown at ten
But she’s been calling here all night long, wondering where you have been
So where have you been?
Your lipstick is smeared, hair is matted on your head
Your lipstick is smeared, hair matted on your head
You can’t look me in the eye, I know you’re lying again
Then you tell about your other man
How you were with him instead
I am suspicious of you baby, and all that you do
I am suspicious of you baby, and all that you do
I suspected another man, and now I know that it’s true
After what I’ve seen tonight, suspect I have to leave you
After what I’ve seen tonight, I know I have to leave you
(Spoken)
I good reason to be suspicious
No fairy tale here
I guess you’re just the cheatin’ kind
