Love Child

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
