Love Child by The Supremes is featured in Previously Unaired Christmas, the eighth episode of Season Five. It is sung by Unique with Marley and Tina. 

This song is performed by all of the New Directions Girls, except Kitty, as they only perform this to trick Kitty into playing the Virgin Mary. They pretend as if Marley, who had originally been cast as Mary, had given the role to Unique. During the performance, they perform very offensive/controversial acts, like Unique overdramatically giving birth to a black baby Jesus and Unique, Marley, and Tina passing Jesus between one another. The group performed badly on purpose, so that Kitty will want to play Mary herself rather than risk having the part ruined.

Unique (with Marley and Tina):
Tenement slum
(Ooh, ahhh)

Unique (Marley and Tina):
You think that I don't feel love (I'll always love you)
But what I feel for you is real love
In other's eyes I see reflected (I'll always love you)
A hurt, scorned, rejected (Love you)

Unique with Marley and Tina:
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, born in poverty
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, take a look at me

Unique (Marley and Tina):
I started my life in an old
Cold run down tenement slum (Tenement slum)
My father left, he never even married mom (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I shared the guilt my mama knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name (Ooh, ahh)

This love we're contemplatin' (I'll always love you)
Is worth the pain of waitin'
We'll only end up hatin' (I'll always love you)
The child we may be creatin' (Love you)

Unique with Marley and Tina (Marley and Tina):
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, (scorned by) society
Love child, always second best
Love child, (different from) different from the rest

Marley and Tina with New Directions:
Hold on, hold on, just a little bit longer
(Unique: Mmm, baby)
Hold on, hold on, just a little bit longer
(Unique: Mmm, baby)

Unique (Marley and Tina):
I started school, in a worn, torn
Dress that somebody threw out (Somebody threw out)
I knew the way it felt to always live in doubt (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
To be without the simple things
So afraid my friends would see the guilt in me (Ooh, ahh)

Don't think that I don't need you (I'll always love you)
Don't think I don't wanna please you
No child of mine'll be bearing (I'll always love you)
The name of shame I've been wearing (Love you)

Unique (Marley and Tina):
(with Marley and Tina: Love child), Love child
Never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed
(Hold on) Misunderstood

(Just a little bit longer, love child) But I'll always love you
(Hold on) Always love you
(Just a little bit longer, love child) I'll always love you
(Hold on) Always love you

(Just a little bit longer, love child) Love child, ooh
(Hold on) Hold on
(Just a little bit longer) Just a little bit longer
(Love child) Love child, wait
(Just a little bit longer) Just a little bit longer
(Hold on) Hold on

(Just a little bit longer, love child) Hey, hey
Oh baby
I'll always love you
(Hold on) I'll always, I'll always
(Just a little bit longer) I'll always love you

Unique with Marley and Tina:
Love child
