Intro

 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

 Cause they call our love a back street affair

 They say I wrecked your home,

 You're a husband that's gone wrong

 They don't know the sorrow that we had to bear

 For the one I'm tied to

 was the first to prove untrue

 Now they call our love a back street affair

Break

 We have each other now,

 That's all that matters anyhow

 For the judgment of gossip's never fair

 We'll just be brave and strong

 Then someday they'll see they're wrong

 Let em 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

 We'll climb a mountain high,

 then the world will hear us cry

 That our love was not a back street affair

 No, our love was not a back street affair
