Love Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tenement slum
(Ooh, ahh)
You think that I don't feel love (I'll always love you)
But what I feel for you is real love
In other's eyes I see reflected (I'll always love you)
A hurt, scorned, rejected (love you)
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 run down tenement slum (tenement slum)
My father left, he never even married mom (ooh, ooh, ooh)
I shared the guilt my mama knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name (ooh, ahh)
This love we're contemplatin' (I'll always love you)
Is worth the pain of waitin'
We'll only end up hatin' (I'll always love you)
The child we may be creatin' (love you)
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, scorned by society
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest
Hold on, hold on, just a little bit longer
Hold on, hold on, just a little bit longer
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 (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
To be without the simple things
So afraid my friends would see the guilt in me (ooh, ahh)
Don't think that I don't need you
Don't think I don't wanna please you
No child of mine'll be bearing
The name of shame I've been wearing
With marley and tina: Love child), love child
Never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed
(Hold on) misunderstood
(Just a little bit longer, love child) but I'll always love you
(Hold on) always love you
(Just a little bit longer, love child) I'll always love you
(Hold on) always love you
(Just a little bit longer, love child) love child, ooh
(Hold on) hold on
(Just a little bit longer) just a little bit longer
(Love child) love child, wait
(Just a little bit longer) just a little bit longer
(Hold on) hold on
(Just a little bit longer, love child) hey, hey
Oh baby
I'll always love you
(Hold on) I'll always, I'll always
(Just a little bit longer) I'll always love you
Love child
