Kitty Wells - Paying for that Back Street Affair lyrics

Yes, I thought that you were true when I fell in love with you For you told me you always would play square Then I learned you had a home , that your wife had not gone wrong And our love was just a backstreet affair Was too late to say no when I found you'd fooled me so For as time pa**ed on I'd learned too much to care Though I knew I must atone, but my will was not my own I'm paying for that backstreet affair You didn't count the cost, you gambled and I lost Now I must pay with hours of deep despair You still can live your life with a true, forgiving wife But I can't live down our backstreet affair The love I gave so free is left to torture me Though I know it's hopeless and it isn't fair But, still I must go on while the gossips spread are wrong I'm paying for that backstreet affair
