Lyrics
She's a love child just like me She's a love child just like me Listen Started my life In an old, cold, run-down tenement slum (Oh, no, oh, no) Oh, yes, oh, yes My father left But before he left, you see He forgot to marry my mama I shared the guilt my mama knew So afraid that others knew I had no name Ah, 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 A love child Born in poverty Love child Never meant to be A love child Take a look at me (Hold on, hold on) A little bit longer (Hold on, hold on) (Hold on, hold on) Just a little longer (Hold on, hold on) Yeah (Mmm, baby) She's a love child just like me She's a love child just like me She's a love child just like me (She's a love, love, love, love, love, love...like me) And I love her She's a love child just like me (She's a love, love, love, love, love, love...like me) And that's why I love her I started school In a worn, torn shirt That one of the neighbors threw out (Oh, no, oh, no) I knew the way that 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 ya Don't think I don't wanna please ya No child of mine will be bearin' The name of shame that I'm wearin' Love child Never quite as good Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood But I'll always love you (Hold on a little bit longer now) (Love child, a little bit longer, baby) (Hold on a little bit longer now) I'll always love you (Hold on) (Hold on, hold on) A little bit longer (Hold on, hold on) (Hold on, hold on) Just a little longer now (Hold on, hold on) Yeah (Mmm, baby) She's a love child just like me She's a love child just like me She's a love child just like me (She's a love, love, love, love, love, love...like me) And I love her She's a love child just like me (She's a love, love, love, love, love, love...like me) And that's why I love her She's a love child just like me (She's a love, love, love, love, love, love...like me) And that's why I love her, I love her She's a love child just like me (Love, love, love, love, love, love...like me) And I love her, I love her She's a love child just like me (Love, love, love, love, love, love...like me)
