Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
You didn't [D]know I wasn't free
When you [G]fell in love with [D]me
And with all your young
[A]heart you learned to [D]care

[Verse 2]
It brought [D]you shame and disgrace
The world has [G]tumbled in your [A]face
'Cause they [D]call our love a [A]back street affair
[D]

[Verse 3]
They are to say I wrecked
your home
You're a [G]husband that's
gone [D]wrong
They don't know the sorrow
[A]that we had [D]to bear

[Verse 4]
For the [D]one I'm tied to
Was the [G]first to prove untrue
[A]Now they cal[D]l our love a bac[A]k street

[Interlude 1]
affair
[D][G][D][A]
[D][G][A][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 5]
We [D]have each other now
That's all that [G]matters any[D]how
For the judgment of [A]gossip's
[D]never fair

[Verse 6]
We'll [D]just be brave and strong
Then [G]someday they'll see they're [A]wrong
Let 'em [D]call our love a
[A]back street affair
[D]

[Verse 7]
We'll be free to love someday
When all the [G]talk has died [D]away
And the happiness we [A]hoped for
then we'll share
[D]

[Verse 8]
We'll climb a mountain high
Then the [G]world will hear us [A]cry
That our [D]love was not a [A]back street af[D]fair
No, our love was not a [A]back street affair
[D]
