Robert Cray Band Right Next Door (because Of Me)
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
