Paying for That Back Street Affair

Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of F F Bb F Yes, I thought that you were true C When I fell in love with you F Bb F For you told me you always would play square C Then I learned you had a home F Bb F That your wife had not gone wrong C F 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 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 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
