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 judgment |
|
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 backstreet affair |
