tv show - Love Child lyrics

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 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
