Back Street Affair Lyrics - Kitty Wells

Yes I thought that you were true when I fell in love with you 

For you told me you always would play square 

Then I learned you had a home that your wife had done gone wrong 

And our love was just a back street affair 

Twas too late to say no when I found you fooled me so 

For as time passed on I'd learned so much to care 

Though I knew I must atone but my will was not my own 

I'm paying for that back street affair 

[ fiddle ] 

You didn't cound the cost you gambled and I lost 

Now I must pay with hours of deep despair 

You still can live your life with a true forgiving wife 

But I can't live down a back street affair 

The love I gave so free is left to torture me 

Though I know it's hopeless and it isn't fair 

But still I must go on while the gisspips spread our wrong 

I'm paying for that back street affair
