Love Child — текст песни (Diana Ross and The Supremes)

(Tenement slum)

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

I 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

This love we`re contemplatin`
Is worth the pain of waitin`
We`ll only end up hatin`
The child we may be creatin`

Love child, never meant to be
(Wait, won`t you wait now)
Love child, (scorned by) society
Love child, always second best
(Wait, won`t you wait now)
Love child, (different from) different from the rest

(Hold on, hold on just a little bit longer) Mm, baby
(Hold on, hold on just a little bit longer) Mm, 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

Don`t think that I don`t need ya
Don`t think I don`t wanna please ya
But no child of mine`ll be bearin`
The name of shame I`ve been wearin`

Love child, love child, never quite as good
(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)
Always love you
(Just a little bit longer, love child)

I`ll always love you
(Wait, wait, won`t you wait, now hold on)
Always love you
(Just a little bit longer, love child)
I`ll always love you
(Wait, wait, won`t you wait, now hold on)
Always love you
(Just a little bit longer, love child)
(repeat and fade out)
