The Kitty Wells Story
Paying For That Back Street Affair
Paying For That Back Street Affair
Recorded by Kitty Wells
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 husband 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 too 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 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 our wrong,
I'm paying for that back street affair.
