tenement slum
oohoohoohoohoohoohooh ah
you think that i don’t feel love
but what i feel for you is real love
in those eyes i see reflected
a hurt scorned rejected
hook
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 my life in an old cold rundown
tenement slum 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
ah this love we’re contemplating
is worth the pain of waiting
we’ll only end up hating
the child we may be creating
hook
love child never meant to be wait wait won’t you wait now hold on
love child scorned by society
love child always second best wait wait won’t you wait now hold on
love child different from the rest
hold on hold on just a little bit longer mmm baby
hold on hold on just a little bit longer mmm baby
i started school in a worn torn dress that somebody threw out 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
ah don’t think that i don’t need you
don’t think i don’t wanna please you
but no child of mine will be bearing
the name of shame i’ve been wearing
hook
love child love child never quite as good wait wait won’t you wait now hold on
afraid ashamed misunderstood just a little bit longer love child
but i’ll always love you wait wait won’t you wait now hold on
i’ll always love you just a little bit longer love child
