Email: Tuning: Standard Artist: John Prine Album: In Spite Of Ourselves Year: 1999 [Intro]      [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] They say I wrecked your home You’re a husband that’s gone wrong They don’t know the sorrow that we had to bear For the one I’m tied to was the first to prove untrue Now they call our love a back street affair [Break]                                   [Verse 3] We have each other now That’s all that matters anyhow For the judgment of gossip’s never fair We’ll just be brave and strong Then someday they’ll see they’re wrong Let em call our love a back street affair [Verse 4] We’ll be free to love someday When all the talk has died away and the happiness we hoped for then we’ll share We’ll climb a mountain high then the world will hear us cry That our love was not a back street affair No our love was not a back street affair
