Right Next Door (Because of Me) Songtext
von The Robert Cray Band, Robert Cray

I can hear the couple fighting right next door
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 to fall

It′s because of me, it's because of me
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, it's because of me


Oh she was right next door and I′m such a strong persuader
And 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 ou ou

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 blood

Oh she was right next door and I′m such a strong persuader
And 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
