Foul Play - Robert Cray

It’s Wednesday night, my woman’s out

Once again I’m home alone

Lately, every Wednesday night

She’s late getting home

She phones from work at quittin' time

Says the boss asked her to stay

She said she’s makin' double time

But I suspect foul play, I suspect foul play

This makes five straight Wednesday nights

And that’s no coincidence

Sitting here and thinking back

It all starts making sense

Her old boss quit two months ago

She came home all smiles that day

Said they hired a younger man

But I suspect foul play, said I suspect foul play

Oh, I suspect foul play

Something in her voice

Alerted my suspicious heart

I’ve heard that warning sign before

Just before love fell apart

This is my last Wednesday night

Waitin' like a fool

I won’t stand for another man

No, no, no, that’s my hard-fast rule

She’d better have some kind of evidence

Of all this extra pay

She’d better have some cold, hard facts

'Cause I suspect foul play, said I suspect foul play

Oh, I suspect foul play

Yeah, yeah, foul play

Something’s going on wrong

Foul play, yeah
