Love Child Diana Ross & The Supremes Love child, never meant to be Love child, born in poverty Love

Lyrics

Started my life in an old cold rundown tenement slum
My father left he never even married mom
I shared the guilt my mama knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name
You think that I don't feel love
What I feel for you is real love
In other's eyes I see reflected a hurt scorned rejected
Love child never meant to be
Love child born in poverty
Love child never meant to be
Love child take a look at me
Started to school in a worn torn dress that 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 the guilt in me
This love we're contemplating is worth the pain of waiting
We'll only end up hating the child we may be creating
Love child never meant to be
Love child society
Love child always second best
Love child different from the rest
Hold on whoa (Mmm baby)
Hold on whoa (Mm-mmh baby)
Let me be proud
What you wishing for means so much with a ring on my hand
We've come this far please try your best to understand
If we throw away what we have today
There'll be nothing left no self-respect
What a price to pay
Don't think that I don't need you
Don't think I don't want to please you
No child of mine will be bearing the name of shame I've been wearin'
Love child love child never quite as good
Afraid ashamed misunderstood
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
Never meant to be
Love child take a look take a look
Take a look at me
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
Take a look take a look
Take a look at me
Love child love child
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
