Kitty Wells - 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 done gone wrong And our love was just a back street affair Twas too late to say no when I found you fooled me so For as time pa**ed on I'd learned so much to care Though I knew I must atone but my will was not my own I'm paying for that back street affair [ fiddle ] You didn't cound 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 a back street 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 gisspips spread our wrong I'm paying for that back street affair
