Foul Play |
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 |
