Love Child

Love Child
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest

You think that I don't feel love
But 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 (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
Isn't worth the pain of waiting
We'll only end up hating
The child we maybe creating
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, (scorned by) society
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest
Ahhh, ah
Ahhh, ah

This love we're contemplating
Isn't worth the pain of waiting
We'll only end up hating
The child we maybe creating
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, (scorned by) society
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest
Love child, love child, never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood
But I'll always love you (Love child)
I'll always love you (Just a little bit longer)
I'll always love you (Wait, wait, won't you wait, just hold on)
I'll always love you (Just a little bit longer, love child)
I'll always love you (Wait, wait, won't you wait, just hold on)
I'll always love you (Just a little bit longer)
