Back Street Affair
You didnt know I wasnt free
When you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace
The world has tumbled in your face
cause they call our love a back street affair
They say I wrecked your home,
Youre a husband thats gone wrong
They dont know the sorrow that we had to bear
For the one Im tied to
Was the first to prove untrue
Now they call our love a back street affair
We have each other now,
Thats all that matters anyhow
For the judgment of gossips never fair
Well just be brave and strong
Then someday theyll see theyre wrong
Let em call our love a back street affair
Well be free to love someday
When all the talk has died away
And the happiness we hoped for then well share
Well climb a mountain high,
Then the world will hear us cry
That our love was not a back street affair
No, our love was not a back street affair

This Love Affair
This Love Affair
Gloria Gaynor
(Gloria Gaynor / Connie Johnson, Jr. / Al Stewart)
(Check it out, check it out, this love affair)
(Check it out, check it out, this love affair)
One - it's on the money, two - it's in full stride
Three - we've got each other, so there's no need to hide
Honey, this love affair has gotten to where I want it
This love affair, I'm so proud to own it
Oh this love affair is in the right direction
This love affair is under love's protection
Four -we're getting over, five -we've got it made
Six, let's pray forever, this love will never fade
Cause it's a miracle there ain't no doubt about it
This love affair, I've got to talk about it
Oh this love affair is in the right direction
This love affair is under love's protection
For the first time in my life I can see clear the skies
So let's soar them like two eagles and fly so high
Seven - bound for heaven, eight - we're at the gate
Nine - we've got their blessings, ten - we're perfect mates
Honey, this love affair has gotten me where I want it
This love affair, I'm so proud to own it
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah.....
This love affair, Oh oh
Seven - bound for heaven, oh well eight - we're at the gate
Nine - we've got their blessings, ten - we're perfect mates
Honey this love affair is in the right direction
This love affair is under love's protection
Woah this love affair > fade is in the right direction
This love affair.......

Our Affair
What a perfect night
Secrets lights up the sky
Like fireflies do
There's nothing but a silky hope
That old opiate
Between me and you
Don't look now
We're just about there
We're just one little breath away
From our affair
From our affair
Don't move too fast
Don't run scared
We're just one surrender away
From our affair
Don't you feel like
You're coming down with something
Some great fancy flu
Don't you feel like you're
Coming down with me
And it doesn't get sicker than you
Don't you feel like this is the really good part
Where it's still up in the air
The perfect romance is never
Stated or sated, deflated or fair
Don't admit it yet
And don't stop saying your prayers
We're just one little heartbeat away
From our affair
From our affair
There's a light in my window
And a little red ladybug in my hair
Just one turn down an empty street
Away,away, away
From our affair
From our affair
There's a white-hot desire
Of which I am pleasantly aware
Just one more "wait a minute baby"
Away, away, away, away
From our affair
From our affair
From our affair

Affair Of The Heart
Heart in my mouth; pulse in my head
Mercury rising into the red
The smell of your skin can light up all the fires in me
Hungry to touch, Im eager to please
Out of control and I hand you the keys
Every night I am burning to make love to you
But dont try to tell me you think its all physical
It goes much deeper than that
You ought to know its an affair of the heart
Its an affair of the heart
Its an affair of the heart
Have a little blind faith, believe
Its an affair of the heart
When we make love, its a passionate thing
You shudder and shake, sink your teeth in my skin
I almost believe you were made to be played by my hands
And you got the power; it amazes me still
How you play my emotions with consummate skill
I dont have to look any further than into your eyes
So dont try to tell me you think its just physical
It goes way deeper than that
You better know its an affair of the heart
Its an affair of the heart
Its an affair of the heart
Have a little blind faith, believe
Its an affair of the heart
Im the controller and I want to touch you and seize you
And make you mine hey, hey
Dont try to tell me you think its all physical
It goes much deeper than that
You ought to know its an affair of the heart
Its an affair of the heart
You better know its an affair of the heart
Its an affair of the heart
You better know its an affair of the heart
Have a little blind faith, believe
Its an affair of the heart

No Way Out
Cant you see Im shaking in my shoes
Ive done everything but I still got the blues
Everywhere I turn theres misery
Stuck in the middle of nowhere street
Go away come back where ya goin
Dont do that, do this, dont you blow it
Run dont walk, shout dont talk about it
You dont know anything about it
Its no good theres no way out
No way out
A fine affair and theres no doubt
Theres no doubt
That theres no way out, no way out
She left some money in a paper sack
And a note to say she aint coming back
Its no good theres no way out
A fine affair and theres no doubt
But theres no way out, no way out
Theyre coming at me from everywhere
They say shes already gone from here
Go away come back where ya goin
Dont do that, do this, dont you blow it
Run dont walk, shout dont talk about it
You dont know anything about it
Its no good theres no way out
No way out
A fine affair and theres no doubt
That theres no way out, no way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out

One Night Love Affair
Youre the silent type
And you caught my eye
But I never thought that Id be touchin you
How was I to know
Id let my feelins go
And that Id be yours before the night was through
One night love affair
Tryin to make like we dont care
We were both reachin out for somethin
One night love affair
Pretendin it aint there
Oh - and now were left with nothin
When the mornin breaks
We go our separate ways
If the night was made for love it aint for keeps
But I lose control
As I watch you go
All my senses say Im in this much too deep
Now youre outa reach
One night love affair
Tryin to make like we dont care
We were both reachin out for somethin
One night love affair
Pretendin we dont care
Oh - and now were left with nothin

Dark End Of The Street
At the dark end of the street
That's where we'd always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
I know that time's gonna take it's toll
We've got to give back all the love that we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh but our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away, to the dark end of the street
They're going to find us
They're going to find us
They're going to find us
Oh someday
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
And if by chance we walk downtown
If you should see me just walk on by
But darling, please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet, at the dark end of the street

Certainly
who gave u permission to rearrange me
certainly not me
who told you that it was alright to love me
certainly not me
I was not looking for no love affair
and now you wanna fix me
I was not looking for no love affair
and now you want to mold me
Was not looking for no love affair
now you wanna kiss me
Was not looking for no love affair
and now you wanna control me
hold me
You're really trying to get creative with me love
and that's alright

An Affair To Remember
- words by harold adamson and leo mccarey, music by harry warren
Our love affair is a wondrous thing
That we'll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with our first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space
Our love affair, may it always be
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand with a fervent prayer
That we may live and we may share
A love affair to remember

My Last Affair
H. johnson
Can't you see
What love and romance have done to me
I'm not the same as i used to be
This is my last affair
Tragedy just seems to be the end of me
My happiness is misery
This is my last affair
Right from the start
You took my love
Tore my heart apart
Now there's nothing new to look forward to
My dreams won't come true
So i'll make a vow, make a vow
No more to love's line will i bow
I cross my heart and feel it now
This is my last affair

Got to have you baby,
Dont you say that you dont care.
Got to have you baby,

Any way you want it baby,
Ill settle for a back door love affair.

The party says that you aint there.

Off Night Backstreet
Maybe Im just kidding myself when I say I love you
I dont know--
Loving without trusting
You get--frostbite and sunstroke
I wish I felt nothing!
You pimp--laughing and strutting her to my chartered seat
Your old off night back street
Its been stinger to stinger, darling
Its been heart to heart
You still keep me from finishing
Any new love I start
Now shes moved in with you
Shes keeping your house neat
And your sheets sweet
And Im your off night back street
I can feel your fingers
Feeling my face
There are some lines you put there
And some you erase
Maybe Im just dramatizing
I dont care
Its home--it can be heaven
When we play fair
But these sentimental journeys
Late at night--
High in some back room youre calling me
To be your off night back street
You give me such pleasure
You bring me such pain
Who left her long black hair
In our bathtub drain?

Long Distance Affair
Long distance affair, can't you hear my heart keeps calling for you
It's hard to show that I care, it's hard to tell if you want me there
I call your name, there's no reply, don't you feel the same?
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I can't get through
Sometimes love don't seem fair
Guess I was wrong, thinkin' you would always be there
I must be dreamin', I thought I had you feelin' the same
I'm callin' your name
Long distance affair, with just a spark, you stole my heart from me
No one ever compared, we'll never touch the memories
I call your name, there's no reply, don't you feel the same?
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I can't get through
Whatever your friends may say, what's it worth to you anyway
You can listen to them and throw it away, yeah
If you're thinkin' how it might have been
Don't think of me like I'm one of them
'Cause friends like that you got no one at all
There's love on the line, baby answer the call
'Cause you know that I love you, can't let go, baby can't you hear my
heart
(Solo)
I keep on calling your name, there's no reply, don't you feel the
same?
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I ain't got you
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I can't get through to you

Love Out In The Street
(carly simon)
Ive seen the sidewalks
And Ive been aware
Of the lamps and tables and the paperback books
That you throw out there
All your artifacts
In disrepair
Make up a pile so high
Could tie up the traffic in the thoroughfare
Put your love out on the street
Put your love out on the street
Put your love out on the street
Put your love out on the street tonight
I dont mind your sinning
Im no saint myself
And if the neighbours call you a hellcat
Then let them call me a jezebel
Cause Ive come to know you
Ive come to know you so well
>from spying on you from my bathroom window
In this cheap hotel
So let flow the hydrants
And well dance in the spray
And well wash out our dirty laundry
In the alleyway

Funny love affair
“FUNNY LOVE AFFAIR”
It is love, an eerie love
In our funny love affair
However, it is love, real love
In our funny love affair
You are married, you have a spouse
I have someone too
You say that’s he’s such a louse
You would leave for a love that is true

On Fire
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
What a tale I have to tell
Makes me shiver when I think about
A story for my conscience
An adventure that I cant keep quiet
Its the story of a golden boy
So golden he can touch your heart
A tale of a love affair
A love affair that never stops
Chorus:
I love the way you laugh
And the way you tantalise
I love it when you tremble
And they way you
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
Took a journey to the faraway
And even now I think about it
Think about the golden boy
The boy that made my heart run riot
If I was given half a chance
Id go back to the golden boy
And carry on the love affair
And carry on this golden boy
