Robert Cray - Right Next Door

I can hear the couple fighting right next door Their angry words sound clear thru 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 thru 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
