Diana Ross And The Supremes Love Child Lyrics

Love Child Lyrics

Tenement slum

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

I started my life in an old, cold run down 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

Mm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
Mm, baby (hold
on, hold on, just a little bit)
I started school, in a worn, torn dress that
somebody threw out
I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt
To be
without the simple things
Sop afraid my friends would see the guilt in
me

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

Love child, love child, never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed,
misunderstood

But I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll
always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always
love you
