Tenement slum
Ooh ooh oohaaaahhh
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
