Love Child

You think that I don't feel love, But what I feel for you is real love. In other's eyes I see reflected, a hurt, scorned... rejected. Love child... never meant to be. Love child... born in poverty. Love child... never meant to be. Love child... take a look at me. #2. I started my life... in an old, cold, rundown tenement slum (tenement slum). My father left, he never even married Mom. I shared the guilt my Mama knew, so afraid that others knew I had no name. This love we're contemplatin', Is worth the pain of waitin'. We'll only end up hatin', The child we may be creatin'. Love child... never meant to be. Love child... scorned by society. Love child... always second best. Love child... different from the rest. (Hold on, Hold on)...Mmmm, baby. (Hold on, Hold on)...Mmmm, baby. #2. I started school... in a worn, torn dress that somebody threw out. I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt, to be without the simple things, so afraid my friends would see...the guilt in me. Don't think that I don't need ya, Don't think I don't wanna please ya. But no child of mine'll be bearin', the name of shame I've been wearin'. Love child, Love child... never quite as good, afraid... ashamed... misunderstood. Outro: But I'll always love you....I'll, always love you hoo hoo. I'll always love you....I'll, always love you hoo hoo. I'll always love you....I'll, always love you hoo hoo. you hoo hoo, you hoo hoo... I'll, always love you hoo hoo. Take a look, take a look, take a look at me Love child love child, ohhh I'll always love you....I'll, always love you hoo hoo.
