Текст песни Love Child - Diana Ross , The Supremes

Tenement slum
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ahhhhh

You think that I don't feel love
But 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 my life
In an old, cold run down 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
Ahhhh, ah

This love we're contemplating
Isn't worth the pain of waiting
We'll only end up hating
The child we maybe creating

Love child, never meant to be
Love child, (scorned by) society
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest (Hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
Mm, 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 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
Ahhh, ah

Don't think that I don't need you
Don't think I don't wanna please you
But no child of mine'll be bearing
The name of shame I've been wearing

Love child, love child, never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood

But I'll always love you (Love child)
I'll always love you (Just a little bit longer)
I'll always love you (Wait, wait, won't you wait, just hold on)
I'll always love you (Just a little bit longer, love child)
I'll always love you (Wait, wait, won't you wait, just hold on)
I'll always love you (Just a little bit longer)
