Melissa Etheridge - Love Child lyrics

[Melissa Etheridge - Love Child lyrics]

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
Scorn rejected

Love child never meant to be
Love child by society
Love child never meant to be
Love child take a look at me

I stand in my life
In an old cold rundown tenement slum
My father left he never even married mom
I shared the guilt my mother knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name

I was over contemplating
Is it worth the pain of waiting
We'd only end up hating
This child that we'd be creating



Love child never meant to be
Love child by society
Love child always second best
Love child different from the rest

I started at school
In a worn torn dress somebody threw out
I knew the way it felt
To always live in doubt
To be without the simple things
So afraid that others knew I had no name

Don't think that I don't need you
Don't think I don't want to please you
But no child of mine will be wearing
This name of shame I've been bearing

Love child never meant to be
Love child born in poverty
Oh love child never quite as good
Oh love child misunderstood

I'll always love you i'll always love you
You, you i'll always, I'll always love you
