"I Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much" is a song written and recorded by soul musician Bobby Womack, released as the leading track off his 1985 album, So Many Rivers, the so-called trilogy to The Poet series of records Womack recorded for Los Angeles-based Beverly Glen Records. The song is about a man who is in love with his best friend's wife behind his back though the man himself does not know about the secret affair echoing in the phrase, "I wish he didn't trust me so much". The song became one of Womack's final R&B chart-topping hits peaking at number-two on the chart. Womack also shot his first-ever music video with the song which showed Womack singing the song live in a recording studio (the recorded version had different vocals). The song was later referenced by rapper Nas on his song "Blunt Ashes" which talked about Womack's quick marriage to Sam Cooke's widow Barbara Campbell.
Famous quotes containing the word trust:
“I trust the time is coming, when the occupation of an instructer [sic] to children will be deemed the most honorable of human employment. If it is a drudgery to teach these little ones, then it is the duty of men to bear a part of that burthen; if it is a privilege and an honor, then we generously invite them to share that honor and privilege with us.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
