Right Next Door (Because of Me)

I can hear the couple fighting right next door

Their angry words sure sound clear throught 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, silent and shamed

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

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 breakin' hearts, oh

At daybreak, I hear him pack, 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

Because of me

Oh, 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 breakin' hearts

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 breakin' hearts
