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 |
