(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
