Back Street Affair Lyrics - Singles - Webb Pierce

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've had to bear 

For the one that I'm tied to was the first to be untrue 

And yet they call our love a back street affair 

We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow 

While the judgment of gossip's 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've hoped for then we'll share 

I'll climb a mountain high and the world will hear me cry 

That our love is not a back street affair
