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 |
|
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 |
|
Why 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 |
