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
Cause they called 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 prove untrue
Now they call our love
A back street affair
We have each other now
That's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement
Of gossips never fair
We'll just be brave and strong
Then some day they'll see they're wrong
Let them call our love
A back street affair
When the mist flow away
We'll be free to love someday
And for happiness
God meant for us to share
I'll climb a mountain high
And then the world will hear me cry
That our love was not
A back street affair
