|
Tenement slum |
|
Ooh, ooh, ooh....aaaahhh |
|
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 |
|
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 |

(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 |
