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

 

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

 

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
