Right Next Door (Because Of Me)

I can hear the couple fighting right next door.
Her 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 listenin' 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, 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.

[Solo]

At daybreak I here 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.
It's because of me,
Young Bob!

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.

[Repeat above]
