Correction Lyrics My Fatherless Son by The Four Tops

Lyrics

My love and I, we'd both been through
The worst of times and seen them through
Bound together and loved as one
But she came to me with a stranger's son
Hopin' the love for me that she had
Would help me make him a happy lad
And wipe away any foolish pride
That might keep him from my side

So we wed, and I was faced with a child of three
Knowing he did not belong to me
I could see in him his father's eyes
I hated him for just being alive
These images came from out of the past
Causing bitter feelings that seemed to last
But shе tried to make me undеrstand
You can love the child and hate the man

My, my fatherless son and I
Will we ever be together
As one
Me and my fatherless son
(Me and my fatherless son)

As time pa**ed, I could tell he needed me
It helped to fight off my jealousy
My love for Joe had surely grown
I'd learned to treat him like my own
He repaid me with a million smiles
That was love and trust in the eyes of my child
Many times, we'd walk hand in hand
He was only five, but he was quite a man

Soon, another was on its way
My wife grew heavier day by day
I remember pacing the hospital hall
My heart soared as my name was called
'Til I heard what the doctor said
"I'm sorry, your wife and baby are dead"
Little Joe let out with a terrible scream
I stood there numb, it shattered my dreams
My, my fatherless son and I
Now we're together (Ever together)
Bound forever (Bound forever as one)
As one
Me and my fatherless son

My whole world came to a sudden stop
Didn't know if I could go on or not
'Til I looked in Joe's little sad eyes
I held him close, we both cried
I could never again love anyone
So fate made Joe my only son
I thank God for the day we're joined
I found my love in the eyes of her son

My, my fatherless son and I
Now we're together (Ever together)
Bound forever (Bound forever as one)
As one
Me and my fatherless son

My, my fatherless son and I
Now we're together (Ever together)
Bound forever (Bound forever as one)
As one
Me and my fatherless son
Together as one
My, my fatherless son and I
Now we're together (Ever together)
Bound forever (Bound forever as one)
As one
Me and my fatherless son

My, my fatherless son and I
Now we're together (Ever together)
Bound forever (Bound forever as one)
As one
Me and my fatherless son
