Lyrics

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
