Love Child Lyrics

Started my life
In a old, cold, run-down tenament slum
My father walked out wouldn't even marry mamma
I shared the guilt my mama knew
Was so afraid that others knew I had no name
You say that I don't feel love
What I feel for you is real
In other's eyes I see reflected
A hurt, scorned, rejected

Love child
Never meant to be
Love Child
Born in poverty
Love Child
Always second best
Love Child
Different from the rest

I started at school
In old blue jeans 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 I had no name

They say that I don't feel love
What I feel for you is real
In other's eyes I see reflected
A hurt, scorned, rejected

Love child
Never meant to be
Love Child
Born in poverty
Love Child
Always second best
Love Child
Different from the rest
(solo)

I finished at school
Still got the same blue jeans I found a long time ago
My father hes gone
I lived my live in doubt
It mad me strong my whole life through
But all this child ever wanted to have was some love from you

They say that I don't feel love
What I feel for you is real
In other's eyes I see reflected
A hurt, scorned, rejected
Love child
Never meant to be
Love Child
Born in poverty
Love Child
Always second best
Love Child
Different from the rest

Love child
Never meant to be
Love Child
Born in poverty
Love Child
Always second best
Love Child
Different from the rest

Love child
Never meant to be
Love Child
Born in poverty
Love Child
Always second best
Love Child
Different from the rest
