Back Street Affair Lyrics - Roy Drusky

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 me shame and disgrace the world has tumbled in my place) 

Cause they call 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 you're tied to was the first to be untrue) 

Yes they call our love a back street affair 

[ steel ] 

We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow 

Oh the judgement of gossip's never fair 

We'll just be brave and strong then someday they'll see they're wrong 

Let 'em call our love a back street affair 

When all the talk has died away and they've got nothing left to say 

And the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share 

We'll climb a mountain high and the world will hear us cry 

That our love is not a back street affair
