You think that I
Don't feel love
What I feel for you
Is real love
In other's eyes
I see reflected
A hurt scarred
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
This love we're
Contemplating
Is worth the pain
Of waiting
We'll only end up
Hating
The child we may be
Creating
Love child
Never meant to be
Love child
By society
Love child
Always second best
Love child
Different from
The rest
Mmm baby
Mmm 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
Could see the guilt
In me
Don't think that
I don't need you
Don't think I don't
Want to please you
But no child of mine
Will be bearin'
The name of shame
I've been wearin'
Love child
Love child
Never quite as good
Afraid ashamed
Misunderstood oh
I'll always love you
Always love you
Hoo-hoo
I'll always love you
Always love you
Hoo-hoo
I'll always love you
Always love you
Hoo-hoo
