G                                      C                 G
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
