[Verse 1]
           D
You didn't know I wasn't free
         G                 D
When you fell in love with me
                        A        
And with all your young heart you 
            D
learned to care
               D
It brought you shame and disgrace
              G               A
The world has tumbled in your face
           D               A  
Cause they call our love a back 
           D
street affair

[Verse 2]
     D
They say I wrecked your home,
         G                   D
You're a husband that's gone wrong
                           A       
They don't know the sorrow that we 
       D
had to bear
        D
For the one I'm tied to
        G                A
was the first to prove untrue
         D               A        
Now they call our love a back 
     D
street affair

[Verse 3]
   D
We have each other now,
                G          D
That's all that matters anyhow
                    A              
For the judgment of gossip's never 
D
fair
      D
We'll just be brave and strong
         G                      
Then someday they'll see they're 
 A
wrong
       D               A          
Let em call our love a back street
   D
 affair

[Verse 4]
         D
We'll be free to love someday
             G              D
When all the talk has died away
                     A             
and the happiness we hoped for then
       D
 we'll share
      D
We'll climb a mountain high,
         G                  A
then the world will hear us cry
         D              A         
That our love was not a back 
    D
street affair
        D              A          
No, our love was not a back street
    D      G  D
