Back Street Affair
Conway Twitty And Loretta Lynn
Album: Honky Tonk Girl
[Intro]
A E A
AYou didn't know I wasn't free, when you fDell in love with Ame
And with all your young heE7art you learned to cAare
It brought you shame and disgrace the world has tuDmbled in your pE7lace
For they cAall our love a bE7ack street afAfair
AThey say you wrecked my home, I'm a huDsband that's gone wArong
They don't know the soE7rrow that we have to bAear
For the one that I'm tied to was the fiDrst to prove unE7true
Yet they cAall our love a bE7ack street afAfair
A D A D (Change Key To "D")
Loretta Lynn
DSweetheart I always knew, when I fGell in love with yDou
The heartaches that A7we would have to bDear
I knew a call gets around and that aGll over tA7own
They would cDall our love a bA7ack street afDfair
DThey say I wrecked your life and brought soGrrow to your wDife
That I was just a girl who dA7idn't seem to cDare
But if they only knew how she sGlips around on A7you
They wouldn't cDall our love a bA7ack street afDfair
(Change Key To "E")
Conway And Loretta
EWhen the mist rolls away, we'll be fAree to love some dEay
And find happiness that B7we were made to sEhare
We'll climb a mountain high and the woArld will hear us B7cry
That our lEove is not a baB7ck street afEfair
