Foul Play Lyrics - Strong Persuader - 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 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 

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 

Yeah, yeah 

Something's gone wrong 

Foul play, yeah
