(Billy Wallace - Jimmy Rule)
|
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
|
For 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 bear
|
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 in love with you
|
The heartaches that we would have to bear
|
I knew a call 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 who didn't seem to care
|
But if they only knew how she slips around on you
|
They wouldn't call our love a back street affair
|
When the mist rolls away we'll be free to love some day
|
And find happiness that we were made to share
|
We'll climb a mountain high and the world will hear us cry
|
That our love is not a back street affair
|
