Paying for That Back Street Affair — текст песни (Kitty Wells)

(Billy Wallace - Jimmy Rule)

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.

--- Instrumental ---

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 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 gossips spread are wrong
I`m paying for that back street affair...
