It's hurting me
It's hurting me
This doubt is hurting me

So remove this doubt from my heart, little girl
And let me live my life knowing you care
Remove this doubt from my mind, little girl
And let me breathe again feeling my love is shared

Each time we meet
You make me feel so incomplete
There's no joy in the air
I just don't think you care

Close the door on doubt forever
And may it never more make me unsure
Turn the key and lock away this doubt in me
Keep it in the dark, not in my heart

Be more tender
Completely surrender
Your love to me
Is sweet and not discrete

Remove this doubt from my heart, little girl
And let me live my life knowing you care
Remove this doubt from my mind, little girl
And let me breathe again knowing my love is shared

Each time we meet
You make me feel so incomplete
There's no joy in the air
I just don't think you care

Remove this doubt from my heart...

“"I wouldn't want to take on the Isleys or The Four Tops 'cos they're too perfect. Levi Stubbs, who I think sounds like Dylan sometimes, is the most underrated singer who ever walked the earth. This is from an album called The Supremes Sing Holland Dozier Holland, a very early album. They're singing "Heatwave" and stuff in that tradition of Motown artists doing each other's songs. And in the middle is this fantastic song. Really strange, like film music or something. We've changed it around a little. I don't sound very much like Diana Ross for one thing."” — Elvis writing in Q Magazine, June 1995
