Suspicious Songtext
von John Lee Hooker, Jr.

Ever been suspicious
Your little woman wouldn′t treat you right?
Ever been suspicious
Your little woman wouldn't treat you right?
She′d stress you out in the daytime
You couldn't even sleep at night

She won't come home straight from work
She won′t even answer her mobile phone
She won′t come home straight from work
She won't even answer her mobile phone

You got a sad, sad feeling
Something about your woman is awful wrong

I went down to McDonald′s


To buy some fries and a Big Mac
I asked my friend to watch my house
'Cause my neighbor was smoking crack
He called and said somebody was at my back door
Somebody had just let ′em in
I called my wife and she said, "Don't worry, Johnny
That was just my girlfriend"

I said, "Honey, why the back door?"
She said, "Because I just mopped in the front room
And the floor was still kinda wet"
It didn′t dawn on me until it was a little too late
That we've got wall-to-wall carpet

Have you ever been suspicious
Your little woman wouldn't treat you right?
She′d stress you out in the daytime
You couldn′t even sleep at night

There was a flu bug going around my job
And I developed a bad, bad cough
My boss heard how bad I sound
He said, "Johnny, take the rest of the night off"
I didn't wanna wake nobody, so I decided
To tiptoe through my home


I can′t hear very well, Istanbul
But I could've swore I heard somebody moan
Concerned that she might need some medical attention
I quickly turned on the lights
There was the woman that I′ve been with for twenty-five years
Making love to my neighbor's wife

Have you ever been suspicious
Your little woman wouldn′t treat you right?
She'd stress you out in the daytime
You couldn't even sleep at night
