Conway Twitty - Back Street Affair lyrics

rate me

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 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 that I'm tied to was the first to prove untrue

Now 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 and someday they'll see they're wrong

Let 'em call our love a back street affair

When ther midst go away we'll be free to love someday

And more happiness God meant for us to share

I'll climb a mountain high and the world will hear me cry

That our love was not a back street affair
