Right Next Door (Because Of Me)

I can hear the couple fighting right next door

Their angry words sound clear through these thin walls

Around midnight I hear him shout unfaithful woman

And I knew right there the axe was gonna fall

It's because of me

It's because of me

I heard him shout who is he, she mumbled low

He said baby don't you lie to me no more

And I'm listening through these thin walls silently

As he called out my name I was right next door

It's because of me

It's because of me

She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader

That she was just another notch on my guitar

She's gonna lose the man that really loves her

In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts

At daybreak I hear him back and say goodbye

I can hear him slam the door and walk away

Right next door I hear that woman start to cry

I should go to her but what would I say

It's because of me

It's because of me

She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader

That she was just another notch on my guitar

She's gonna lose the man that really loves her

In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts
