Stanley Brothers Cheap Love Affair Lyrics

Don't go so far away love, try to stay around
For losing you would be more than I could bear
Though I'm tied to another, I hope someday she'll set me free
For I don't want a cheap love affair

I knew we loved each other the night that we first met
It just happened there was nothing we could do
Let me stay with my children 'til they can understand That I love them and they'll know I love you too

So darling please forgive me don't give me all the blame
Though' I know that it doesn't seem so fair
When I'm free I'll make you happy if you'll only wait for me
But I don't want a cheap love affair
