Verse 1
I can hear the couple fighting
right next door
Their angry words sound clear
through these thin walls
Around midnight I heard 'im
shout "Unfaithful one"
And I knew right then the axe
was gonna fall
It's because of me It's
because of me
Verse 2
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
Chorus
Oh, she was right next door and
I'm such a strong persuader
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

Verse 3
At daybreak I hear him pack, 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
Bob
Chorus
Oh, she was right next door and
I'm such a strong persuader
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
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
