[00:20.89]You think that I don't feel love
[00:23.13]What I feel for you is real love
[00:25.49]In other's eyes I see reflected a hurt, scorned, rejected
[00:29.85]Love child, never meant to be
[00:34.50]Love child, born in poverty
[00:39.14]Love child, never meant to be
[00:43.82]Love child, take a look at me
[00:48.51]I started my life in an old, cold, rundown tenement slum
[00:55.32]My father left, he never even married Mom
[00:58.95]I shared the guilt my mama knew
[01:01.31]So afraid that others knew I had no name
[01:06.20]This love we're contemplating, is worth the pain of waiting
[01:10.99]We'll only end up hating the child we may be creating
[01:15.23]Love child, never meant to be
[01:19.81]Love child, by society
[01:24.41]Love child, always second best
[01:29.30]Love child, diff'rent from the rest
[01:34.71]Hold on, whoa
[01:42.93]I started school in a worn, torn, dress that somebody threw out
[01:49.78]I knew the way it was to always live in doubt
[01:53.21]To be without the simple things
[01:55.55]So afraid my friends could see the guilt in me
[02:00.24]Don't think that I don't need you
[02:02.68]Don't think I don't want to please you
[02:05.12]No child of mine'll be bearing the name of shame I've been wearin'
[02:09.53]Love child, love child, never quite as good
[02:13.99]Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood
[02:18.55]But I'll always love you
[02:23.64]I'll always love you
[02:28.33]I'll always love you
