Back Street Affair
by Webb Pierce
Words and Music by Billy Wallace    

VERSE  1:
You did-n't (F)know I (Gm7)was-(C7)n't (F)free
When you (Bb)fell in love with (F)me
And with all your young (C7)heart, you (Gm7)learned (C7)to (F)care
It brought you shame (Gm7)and (C7)dis-(F)grace
The world has (Bb)tum-bled (Gm7)in your (C7)face
Because they (F)call our love a (C7)back (Gm7)street (C7)af-(F)fair

VERSE  2:
They (F)say you (Gm7)wrecked (C7)my (F)home
I'm a (Bb)hus-band that's gone (F)wrong
They don't know the sor-row (C7)that, we (Gm7)had (C7)to (F)bear
For the one that (Gm7)I'm (C7)tied (F)to
Was the (Bb)first to (Gm7)be (C7)un-true
And yet they (F)call our love a (C7)back (Gm7)street (C7)af-(F)fair

VERSE  3:
We have each oth-er now
That's all that mat-ters an-y-how
For the judge-ment of gos-sip's nev-er fair
We'll just be brave and strong
Then some day they'll see they're wrong
Let 'em call our love a back street af-fair

VERSE  4:
We'll be free to love some-day
When all the talk has died a-way
And then the hap-pi-ness we hope for then we'll share
I'll climb a moun-tain high, 
and then the world can hear me cry
That our love's not a back street af-fair
