Love's Unkind

Well I see him every morning in the schoolyard when the schoolbell rings

And when he passes in the hallway, well he doesn't seem to notice me

He's got a crush on my best friend

But she don't care, 'cause she loves someone else

I'm standing on the outside, not the inside where I wanna be



Love's unkind, love's unkind, love's unkind, love's unkind

'Cause he's not mine



Just the other day I was praying that he'd give me a chance

Hoping he would choose me for his partner for the high school dance

I was standing outside the class but it wasn't me

But my best friend, he asked

I went running back inside teary-eyed and left the two of them behind



Love's unkind, love's unkind, love's unkind, love's unkind

'Cause he's not mine



Oh, how I love him, but I can't even let him know

'Cause he loves my best friend

But she don't care, she loves someone else.

And I asked my mama, and she said: love's unkind, love's so unkind.

She said: just keep it alive, 'cause you may find love's unkind.



Love's unkind, love's unkind, love's unkind, love's unkind

'Cause he's not mine



Oh, Why did I have to love him so, why did I have to love him so
