The Robert Cray Band - Right Next Door (Because Of Me) lyrics

I can hear the couple

Fighting right next door

Their angry words sound clear

Through these thin walls

Around midnight I heard him

Shout: "unfaithful woman"

And I knew right then

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 silence shame

As he called out my name

I was right next door

It's because of me

It's because of me

Because of me

It's because of me

Oh, she was right next door and

I'm such a strong persuader

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

Oh, whoh

At daybreak I hear him pack

And say goodbye

I can hear him slam

The door and walk away

Right next door I hear

That woman starts to cry

I should go to her

But what would I say

It's because of me

It's because of me

Because of me, yeah

She was right next door and

I'm such a strong persuader

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

Oh, she was right next door and

And I'm such a strong persuader, yeah

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
