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

Spoken:

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

Spoken:

Oh, Why did I have to love him so

why did I have to love him so
