Love Child

Tenement slum Ooh ooh oohaaaahhh 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 Started my life In a old cold run-down tenement slum tenement slum My father left he never even married mama 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 Mmmmm baby Hold on hold on just a little bit longer Mmmmm baby I started school In a worn torn dress that somebody threw out 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 But 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 Always love you I`ll always love you Always love you
