Daddy was young - gone before you ever were born
Mama gave up - couldn't keep a baby alone
And as hard as she tried
She couldn't give you every need
'cause the times they were bad
With another mouth to feed
*Love Child - no one ever loved you
Love Child - nobody there to hold you
Open your eyes and see that I love you
I'll give you everything you need
Love Child - love is our protection
Love Child - we'll find a new direction
Safe in each other's arms - let's fly away
All your life - had to make it all on your own
Pain and strife never seemed to leave you alone
There was so little joy - never had a helping hand
So a poor little boy had to learn to be a man
*Repeat
I know that it's so very hard
You have so many bad memories
Take my heart and the love I give you
Love child - won't you listen to me
