[00:19.26]You think that I don't feel love
[00:22.37]But what I feel for you is real love
[00:24.24]In other's eyes I see reflected
[00:26.14]A hurt, scorned, rejected
[00:28.30]Love child, never meant to be
[00:33.21]Love child, born in poverty
[00:38.23]Love child, never meant to be
[00:42.47]Love child, take a look at me
[00:47.43]I started my life in an old, cold run down tenement slum
[00:53.36]My father left, he never even married mom
[00:57.32]I shared the guilt my mama knew
[00:59.45]So afraid that others knew I had no name
[01:03.46]This love we're contemplating
[01:06.30]Is worth the pain of waiting
[01:08.38]We'll only end up hating
[01:11.44]The child we maybe creating
[01:13.49]Love child, never meant to be
[01:17.52]Love child, (scorned by) society
[01:22.37]Love child, always second best
[01:26.57]Love child, different from the rest
[01:31.16]Mm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
[01:36.10]Mm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
[01:40.28]I started school, in a worn, torn dress that somebody threw out
[01:46.59]I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt
[01:50.12]To be without the simple things
[01:53.25]So I afraid my friends would see the guilt in me
[01:57.14]Don't think that I don't need you
[01:59.39]Don't think I don't wanna please you
[02:01.33]No child of mine will be bearing
[02:04.39]The name of shame I've been wearing
[02:06.51]Love child, love child, never quite as good
[02:10.56]Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood
[02:14.38]But I'll always love you
[02:19.20]I'll always love you
[02:21.48]I'll always love you
[02:28.39]I'll always love you
[02:34.41]I'll always love you
[02:37.56]I'll always love you
