G                 D7     G    G7       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
                     D7     G     G7            C               G
It brought you shame and disgrace the world has tumbled in your face
                           D7          G
Cause they call our love a back street affair

             D7         G    G7    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
                 D7       G   G7      C             G
For the one that I'm tied to  was the first to be untrue
                         D7            G
Yes they call our love a back street affair

             D7    G    G7             C          G
We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow
                   D7             G
Oh the judgment of gossip's never fair
                D7      G          G7   C                       G
We'll just be brave and strong then someday they'll see they're wrong
                         D7            G
Let them call our love a back street affair

                  D7       G    G7          C            G
We'll be free for love someday when all the talk is dead away
                        D7                   G
And the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share
             D7       G     G7      C                      G
I'll climb a mountain high and then the world will hear me cry
                       D7            G
That our love is not a back street affair
