Cray, Robert - Right Next Door (Because Of Me) Lyrics






I can hear the couple fighting right next door
Their angry words sound clear thru these thin walls
Around midnight I heard 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, silent and shamed
As she 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

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 pack 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
Because of me
Young Bob

She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
Well 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
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts
