THE UNFORTUNATE CHILD
I was a child when I had you, it’s true
too young to be a mother or a friend
I don’t know how to communicate with you.
You’ll never understand what I went through
To an unwed mother’s home, they did send
I was a child when I had you, Taboo
Gone are the friends and the life I once knew
Complications for me now, there’s no end
I don’t know how to communicate with you.
Overnight my mother became yours too
You were my sister, I had to pretend
I was a child when I had you, it’s true
You never forgave me; no excuse would do
For the lies I told you then, now, I can’t mend
I don’t know how to communicate with you.
There is so much I wish I could undo
I’d break with that boy and that night; unspend -
I was a child when I had you, it’s true
I don’t know how to communicate with you.
