They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
Why the judgment of gossip's never fair
So let them call our love a back street affair
We'll be free to love someday when all the talk has died away
For the one that I'm tied to was the first to be untrue
We have each other now, that's all that matters anyhow
They say you wrecked my home, I'm a husband that's gone wrong
I'll climb a mountain high and the world will hear me cry
And yet they call our love a back street affair
We'll just be brave and strong, then someday they'll see they're wrong
And the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share
It brought you shame and disgrace, the world has tumbled in your place
Because they call our love a back street affair
