Robert Cray - Foul Play Lyrics
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 boss 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
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
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
Yeah, yeah
Foul play
[Guitar outro with words]

Robert Cray Foul Play Comments
One of the subtly great things about this song: In each successive verse (and in particular, each first phrase), the pitch and volume go up, as if he's getting angrier and angrier as he sits there and stews.
In the 80’s living in Dallas, my parrot would dance and sing to Strong Persuader. He made me play it over and over .
Seen him in concert about 8 times. He is not an entertainer, he gets up and the stage, plays, and sings and rarely cracks a smile. His bassist, Richard Cousins, is the one who brings a little life to the stage. I like his music, but I won't go ever again to see him live.
Bunni Armani I understand because he is a Strong Persuader not an entertainer! Lol
🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ok gonna say that voice is insane
Great Guitar playing. I've been listening to Robert Cray since 1987 all through high school and college. Groovy and smoke filled. He's just only the best in R&B.
This song says more with less, than, well, lots of other songs.
"LEGEND"
I've been listening to him for years. This music is what sets my soul free.
Funny reminds me of some hush hush shit back in my younger days fun times

100,000 views for this masterpiece and 500 million for Rihanna. Sad, world we live in. People really need to find and keep hold of the real music. There is just no comparison.

This song showcases what Robert Cray does best. I love his brand of brooding
late-night smoke-filled room R&B. His singing and guitar playing are so expressive... a real class act.
Brilliant song by a brilliant artist and talented guitarist! Totally underrated!!!
