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 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 |
| That our love is not a back street affair |
