Supremes - Love Child Lyrics
(pam sawyer/r. dean taylor/frank wilson/deke richards)Tenement slumYou think that I dont feel loveBut what I feel for you is real loveIn others eyes I see reflectedA hurt, scorned, rejectedLove child, never meant to beLove child, born in povertyLove child, never meant to beLove child, take a look at meI started my life in an old, cold run down tenement slumMy father left, he never even married momI shared the guilt my mama knewSo afraid that others knew I had no nameThis love were contemplatingIs worth the pain of waitingWell only end up hatingThe child we maybe creatingLove child, never meant to beLove child, (scorned by) societyLove child, always second bestLove child, different from the restMm, 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 outI knew the way it felt, to always live in doubtTo be without the simple thingsSo afraid my friends would see the guilt in meDont think that I dont need youDont think I dont wanna please youNo child of mine ll be bearingThe name of shame Ive been wearingLove child, love child, never quite as goodAfraid, ashamed, misunderstoodBut Ill always love youIll always love youIll always love youIll always love youIll always love youIll always love you
