Back Street Affair Lyrics - Pay The Devil - Van Morrison

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 

Because 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 had to bear

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

While the one I was tied to 

Was the first to be untrue 

How can they call our love 

A back street affair 

Well, we have each other now 

That's all that matters anyhow 

While the judgment 

Of gossips never fair 

We'll just be brave and strong 

Then someday they'll see they're wrong 

So, let them call our love 

A back street affair 

We'll be free to love someday 

When all the talk has died away 

And the happiness we hoped for 

Then we'll share 

And I'll climb a mountain high 

And the world will hear me cry 

That our love is not 

A backstreet affair
