You didn't know I wasn't free
when you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart
you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace
the world has tumbled in your face
Cause they call our love a back street affair
We have each other now
that's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong
and someday they'll see they're wrong
Let 'em call our love a back street affair
when you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart
you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace
the world has tumbled in your face
Cause they call our love a back street affair
We have each other now
that's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong
and someday they'll see they're wrong
Let 'em call our love a back street affair
