The Robert Cray Band - Right Next Door 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 one" 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" I'm listening through these thin walls in silent shame As she called out my name, I was right next door It's because of me It's because of me It's because of me It's because of me Oh, she was right next door, 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 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 And I should go to her, oh, but what would I say? It's because of me Because of me It's because of me [Incomprehensible] Oh, you know she was right next door, 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, you know she was right next door, I'm such a strong persuader She was just another notch on my guitar She's gonna lose the man, the man that really loves her In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts
