Lyrics - God's Stepchild by Janet Jackson

Gotta story for you'
Bout a little friend
Never felt good enough
Had a heart to mend
Never felt pretty
Learned to just pretend
Wished someone had listened
To her cries of pain
Maybe
I'm the lucky one
Maybe the forgotten one
Maybe, but
I know
I'm not
God's stepchild
Didn't want to burden
Mother had enough stress
So often
I'd talk to you
Through my four legged friends
Always there to listen
Though
I felt so all alone
And in my times of trouble
I know
You saw my smile of painrepeat (x2)
Now that
I am older
Gone through so much pain
I learned that
I should love me
No more feeling ashamed
I've seen the great illusions
I've seen the rough terrain
I've walked through my own journey
And my love for you remainsrepeat (x2)
I know
I'm the lucky one
I know
I'm a special one
I know, that
God does
Not have a stepchild.
