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 place
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've had to bear

For the one that I'm tied too
Was the first to be untrue
Now they call our love
A back street affair

We have each other now
That's all that matters anyhow
Why the judgment of
Gossip's never fair

We'll just be brave and strong
Someday they'll see they're wrong
Let ’em call our love
A back street affair

When the mist rolls away, we'll be free to love some day
And no happiness God meant for us to share
I'll climb a mountain dear sat so the world can hear
That our love not a back street affair
