Right Next Door (because Of Me) Lyrics - Strong Persuader - Robert Cray

I can hear the couple fighting right next door 

Their angry words sound clear through these thin walls 

Around midnight I heard 'em 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" 

And I'm listening through these thin walls silent o' shame 

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 

Oh, she was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader 

She was just another note 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 can hear him pack, say goodbye 

I can hear him slam the door and walk away 

Right next door I can 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 heart 

CHORUS (twice)
