Right Next Door

He can hear us, we were fighting right next door
 He could hear the angry words, through that thin walls
 'Round midnight, my baby called me unfaithful woman
 And I knew right there the axe was gonna fall
 It's because of him
 'Cause of him
 My baby said, who is he? I mumbled low
 He said, woman, don't you lie to me no more?
 And he was listening through those thin walls, silently
 As I called out his name, he was right next door
 It's because of him
 'Cause of him
 Because of him
 Because of him
 Oh, he was right next door, and he was such a strong persuader
 I was just another notch on his guitar
 He made me lose the man who really love me
 Oh, he made me break my baby's heart
 Oh, wow, oh, oh, oh, ah
 ♪
 At daybreak, my baby packed and said goodbye
 Slammed the door and just walked away
 Right next door, he had to hear me start to cry
 He wouldn't even come to me and nothing to say
 And it's because of him
 Because of him
 Because of him
 You sexy thing
 He was right next door, and he was such a strong persuader
 I was just another notch on his guitar
 Lord, he made me lose a man who really love me
 Oh, oh, oh, he made me break my baby's heart
 Tell you, he was right next door
 I was just another notch
 Lord, he made me lose
 Oh, he made me break my daddy's heart
 Tell you, he was right next door and he was such a strong persuader
 I was just another notch on his guitar
 Lord, he made me lose a man who really love me
 Oh, he made me break my baby's heart
 Oh, he was next door
