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
I started my life
In an old cold run down
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 oh
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
Mm mm baby
Mm mm baby
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
Ah
Don't think that
I don't need you
Don't think I don't
wanna please you
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
But I'll always love you
I'll always love you oo oo
I'll always love you
I'll always love you oo oo
I'll always love you
I'll always love you oo oo
Oo oo oo
Oo oo oo
I'll always love you oo oo
Take a look
Take a look
Take a look at me
I'm a love child love child
Oh I'll always love you
I'll always love you oo oo
