[00:19.82]You think that I don't feel love
[00:22.13]But what I feel for you is real love
[00:24.38]In other's eyes I see reflected
[00:26.19]A hurt, scorned, rejected
[00:28.18]
[00:28.87]Love child, never meant to be
[00:33.18]Love child, born in poverty
[00:36.98]
[00:37.92]Love child, never meant to be
[00:41.57]
[00:42.25]Love child, take a look at me
[00:46.19]
[00:46.99]I started my life in an old
[00:49.99]Cold run down tenement slum
[00:52.74]
[00:53.74]My father left, he never even married mom
[00:57.36]I shared the guilt my mama knew
[00:59.60]So afraid that others knew I had no name
[01:03.41]
[01:04.09]This love we're contemplatin'
[01:06.46]Is worth the pain of waitin'
[01:08.90]We'll only end up hatin'
[01:10.95]The child we may be creatin'
[01:13.39]Love child, never meant to be
[01:16.74]
[01:17.61]Love child, society
[01:21.04]
[01:22.66]Love child, always second best
[01:26.21]
[01:26.84]Love child, different from the rest
[01:30.96]
[01:32.58]Hold on, hold on, just a little bit longer
[01:35.82](Mmm, baby)
[01:36.45]Hold on, hold on, just a little bit longer
[01:39.69](Mmm, baby)
[01:40.88]I started school, in a worn, torn
[01:44.31]Dress that somebody threw out
[01:46.50]
[01:47.43]I knew the way it felt to always live in doubt
[01:51.11]To be without the simple things
[01:53.29]So afraid my friends would see the guilt in me
[01:56.73]
[01:58.22]Don't think that I don't need you
[02:00.28]Don't think I don't wanna please you
[02:02.72]No child of mine'll be bearing
[02:04.78]The name of shame I've been wearing
[02:07.22]Love child, love child
[02:09.27]Never quite as good
[02:11.02]Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood
[02:14.82]
[02:15.95]But I'll always love you
[02:20.00]
[02:20.76]I'll always love you
[02:24.68]
[02:26.75]I'll always love you
[02:29.42]
[02:30.42]I'll always love you
