LOVE CHILD
Diana Ross & the Supremes


#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).
