[Intro]
D A D
[Verse 1]
D
You didn't know I wasn't free
G D
When you fell in love with me
A D
And with all your young heart you learned to care
D
It brought you shame and disgrace
G A
The world has tumbled in your face
D A D
Cause they call our love a back street affair
[Verse 2]
D
They say I wrecked your home,
G D
You're a husband that's gone wrong
A D
They don't know the sorrow that we had to bear
D
For the one I'm tied to
G A
was the first to prove untrue
D A D
Now they call our love a back street affair
[Break]

[Verse 3]
D
We have each other now,
G D
That's all that matters anyhow
A D
For the judgment of gossip's never fair
D
We'll just be brave and strong
G A
Then someday they'll see they're wrong
D A D
Let em call our love a back street affair
[Verse 4]
D
We'll be free to love someday
G D
When all the talk has died away
A D
and the happiness we hoped for then we'll share
D
We'll climb a mountain high,
G A
then the world will hear us cry
D A D
That our love was not a back street affair
D A D G D
No, our love was not a back street affair
