GYou didn't know I wasn't free when you Cfell in love with Gme
And with all your young D7heart you learned to Gcare
GIt brought you shame and disgrace the world has Ctumbled in your D7face
Cause they Gcall our love a D7back street Gaffair
GThey say you wrecked my home I'm a Chusband that's gone Gwrong
They don't know the sorrow D7that we've had to Gbear
GFor the one that I'm tied to  was the Cfirst to be unD7true
Yes they Gcall our love a D7back street Gaffair
GWe have each other now that's all that Cmatters anyGhow
Oh the judgment of D7gossip's never Gfair
GWe'll just be brave and strong then someCday they'll see they're D7wrong
So let Gthem call our love a D7back street Gaffair
GWe'll be free to love someday when all the Ctalk is died Gaway
And the happiness we've D7hoped for then we'll Gshare
GI'll climb a mountain high and Cthe world will hear me D7cry
That our Glove is not a D7back street Gaffair
