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
Cause 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 to was the first to prove untrue
Now they call our love a back street affair
[ steel ]
We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow
Oh the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong and someday they'll see they're wrong
Let 'em call our love a back street affair

When ther midst go away we'll be free to love someday
And more happiness God meant for us to share
I'll climb a mountain high and the world will hear me cry
That our love was not a back street affair
