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
Rundown 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
Never meant to be
Love Child
Diff'rent from the rest
Hold on
Whoa
I started school in a worn
Torn
Dress that somebody threw out
I knew the way it was to always live in doubt
To be without the simple things
So afraid my friends could see the guilt in me
Don't think I don't need you
Don't think I don't want to you
Please
No child of mine'll be bearing the name of shame I've been wearin'
Love Child
Never quite as good
Love Child
Misunderstood
I always love you
I always love you
I always love you
I always love you
I always love you
I always love you
