Back Street Affair
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 place
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
