Generate meaning
1
You didn't know I wasn't free
2
When you fell in love with me
3
And with all your young heart you learned to care
4
It brought you shame and disgrace
5
The world has tumbled in your face
6
'cause they call our love a back street affair
7
They say I wrecked your home,
8
You're a husband that's gone wrong
9
They don't know the sorrow that we had to bear
10
For the one I'm tied to
11
Was the first to prove untrue
12
Now they call our love a back street affair
13
We have each other now,
14
That's all that matters anyhow
15
For the judgment of gossip's never fair
16
We'll just be brave and strong
17
Then someday they'll see they're wrong
18
Let 'em call our love a back street affair
19
We'll be free to love someday
20
When all the talk has died away
21
And the happiness we hoped for then we'll share
22
We'll climb a mountain high,
23
Then the world will hear us cry
24
That our love was not a back street affair
25
No, our love was not a back street affair
