Back Street Affair
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 have to bare
For the one that I'm tied to
Was the first to prove untrue
Yet they call our love
A back street Affair
Sweetheart, I always knew
When I fell inlove with you
The heartache that we would have to bare
I knew how talk gets around
And that all over town
They would call our love
A back street affair
They say I wrecked your life
And brought sorrow to your wife
That I was just a girl
That didn't seem to care
But if they only knew
How she slipt around on you
They wouldn't call our love
A back street affair
When the mist goes away
We'll be free to love some day
And find happiness that we were meant to share
We will climb a mountain high
And the world will hear us cry
That our love is not
A back street affair
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 have to bare
For the one that I'm tied to
Was the first to prove untrue
Yet they call our love
A back street Affair
Sweetheart, I always knew
When I fell inlove with you
The heartache that we would have to bare
I knew how talk gets around
And that all over town
They would call our love
A back street affair
They say I wrecked your life
And brought sorrow to your wife
That I was just a girl
That didn't seem to care
But if they only knew
How she slipt around on you
They wouldn't call our love
A back street affair
When the mist goes away
We'll be free to love some day
And find happiness that we were meant to share
We will climb a mountain high
And the world will hear us cry
That our love is not
A back street affair
