#1 in USA & #13 in UK in '68.
#1.
Bm
You think that I don't feel love,
C
But what I feel for you is real love.
Am
In other's eyes I see reflected,
F E
a hurt, scorned, rejected.
CHORUS:
Am G
Love child, never meant to be.
F E
Love child, born in poverty.
Am G
Love child, never meant to be.
F E
Love child, take a look at me.
#2.
Am G D Am
I started my life in an old, cold, rundown tenement slum.
G D Am
My father left, he never even married Mom.
Am C
I shared the guilt my Mama knew,
D F E
so afraid that others knew I had no name.
CHORUS:#2.
Bm
This love we're contemplatin',
C
Is worth the pain of waitin'.
Am
We'll only end up hatin',
F E
The child we may be creatin'.
Am G
Love child, never meant to be.
F E
Love child, scorned by society.
Am G
Love child, always second best.
F E
Love child, different from the rest.
Am G D
Hold on...Mm, baby.
Am G D
Hold on...Mm, baby.
#2.
Am G D
I started school in a worn, torn dress that
Am
somebody threw out.
G D Am
I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt,
Am C
to be without the simple things,
D F E
so afraid my friends would see...the guilt in me.
Bm
Don't think that I don't need ya,
C
Don't think I don't wanna please ya.
Am
But no child of mine'll be bearin',
F E
the name of shame I've been wearin'.
Am G
Love child, never quite as good,
F E
afraid, ashamed, misunderstood.
ADD:
Am G F E
But I'll always love you....I'll always love you.(x3).
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
