You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me
D7 G
And with all your young heart you learned to care
G C D7
It brought you shame and disgrace the world has tumbled in your face
G D7 G
Cause they call our love a back street affair
G C G
They say you wrecked my home I'm a husband that's gone wrong
D7 G
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
G C D7
For the one that I'm tied to was the first to be untrue
G D7 G
Yes they call our love a back street affair
G C G
We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow
D7 G
Oh the judgment of gossip's never fair
G C D7
We'll just be brave and strong then someday they'll see they're wrong
G D7 G
So let them call our love a back street affair
G C G
We'll be free to love someday when all the talk is died away
D7 G
And the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share
G C D7
I'll climb a mountain high and the world will hear me cry
G D7 G
That our love is not a back street affair
