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
