The Robert Cray Band - Foul Play lyrics

(Intro)

It's Wednesday night, my woman's out

Once again I'm home alone

Lately every Wednesday night

She's late getting home

She phoned from work at quittin' time

Says the bossed asked her to stay

She says she's makin' double time

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

She says they hired a younger man

I suspect foul play

Said I suspect foul play

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

(Guitar solo)

This is my last Wednesday night

Waiting 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

I suspect foul play

(Guitar outro with words)

Yeah, yeah

Something's gone wrong

Foul play, yeah
