I started my life
In a old, cold, run-down
Tenement slum
My father walked out
Wouldn't even marry my mum
I shared the guilt my mama knew
Was so afraid
That my friends'd find out
I ain't got no name
You say that I don't feel love
What I feel is real
In your eyes I see reflected
Hate, scorn, rejected
Love child
Never meant to be
Love child
Born in poverty
Love child
Always second best
Love child
Different from the rest
Started at school
In old blue jeans
Somebody threw out
I knew the way it felt
To always live in doubt
To be without the simple things
Was so afraid that my friends would see
I had no name
They say that I don't feel love
What I feel is real
In your eyes I see reflected
Hate, scorn, rejected
Love child
Never meant to be
Love child
Born in poverty
Love child
Always second best
Love child
Different from the rest
I finished at school
Still got the same blue jeans
I found a long time ago
My father, he's gone
I lived my life in doubt
It made me strong my whole life through
But all this child ever wanted to have
Was some love from you
They say that I don't feel love
What I feel is real
In your eyes I see reflected
Hate, scorn, rejected
Love child
Never meant to be
Love child
Born in poverty
Love child
Always second best
Love child
Different from the rest
Love child
(I'll always love you)
Never meant to be
Love child
(I'll always love you)
Born in poverty
Love child
(I'll always love you)
Always second best
Love child
(I'll always love you)
Different from the rest
Love child
(I'll always love you)
Never meant to be
Love child
(I'll always love you)
Born in poverty
Love child
(I'll always love you)
Always second best
Love child
(I'll always love you)
Different from the rest
Love child
Never meant to be
Love child
Born in poverty
Love child
Always second best
Love child
