Born to a loveless affair. Many children's are. So to save face. Many women states to the child they was born of love. When in truth, it's a totally different story.
The flings of a one night affair. In many cases placed you in this predicament.
Born from an unapproved affair. Where you was by choice enslaved to be a marry man lover? And afraid to admit truth to your child. That he might or might not get to know his father. Then many children's are born and don't know the truth story.
I know what the song means, when it says "Papa Was A Rolling Stone". And they depending on mama to tell them the truth. Cause many siblings knows the myth that has been told to you. Whether they uncles, aunts, nieces or nephew.
Somewhere you will find the truth required by you. Many children's do.
