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, 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 mum
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)
Different from the rest
(Hold on hold on
just a little bit longer)
mm baby
(Hold on hold on
just a little bit longer)
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
Don't think that
I don't need ya
Don't think
I don't want
to please ya
No child of mine
will be bearing
the name of shame
I've been wearing
love child love child
Never quite as good
afraid, ashamed
misunderstood
but I'll
always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
