Backstreet affair (video)

G - D7 - G

G G7 C G

1. You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me,

G D7 G

and with all your young heart you learned to care.

G G7 C A

It brought you shame and disgrace, the world has tumbled in your face,

G D7 G

because they call our love a back street affair.

G G7 C G

2. They say you wrecked my home, I'm a husband that's gone wrong,

G D7 G

they don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear.

G G7 C A

For the one that I'm tied to was the first to be untrue,

G D7 G

and yet they call our love a back street affair.

3. We have each other now, that's all that matters anyhow,

G D7 G

oh, the judgment of gossip's never fair.

G G7 C A

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

G D7 G

let them call our love a back street affair.

G G7 C G

4. We'll be free for love someday, when all the talk is dead away,

G D7 G

and the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share.

G G7 C A

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

G D7 G

that our love is not a back street affair.
