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 passed 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

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
