Back Street Affair Lyrics



You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me

And with all your young heart you learned to care

It brought you shame and disgrace

The world has tumbled in your face

Because they call our love a back street affair



They say you wrecked my home

I'm a husband that's gone wrong

They don't know the sorrow that we had to bear

While the one I was tied to was the first to be untrue

How can they call our love a back street affair



Well we have each other now

That's all that matters anyhow

While the judgement of gossips never fair

We'll just be brave and strong

Then someday they'll see they're wrong

So let them call our love a back street affair



We'll be free to love someday

When all the talk has died away

And the happiness we hoped for then we'll share

And I'll climb a mountain high and the world will hear me cry
