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 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 [ fiddle ] 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
