Karaoké Right Next Door (Because of Me) Robert Cray

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"

And 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

Because of me t's because of me

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

But she was just another notch on my guitar

She's gonna lose the man that really loves her

And in the silence I can hear their breaking hearts

Oh whoa

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 buck

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

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

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
