Love's Unkind

Well I seem him every morning in the schoolyard
'Fore the school bell rings
And when he passes in the hallway
Well he doesn't seem to notice meHe'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 beLove's unkind, love's unkind
Love's unkind, love's unkind
'Cause he's not mineJust the other day I was praying
He would give me a chance
Hoping he would choose me for his partner
For the high school danceI 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 behindLove's unkind, love's unkind
Love's unkind, love's unkind
'Cause he's not mineOh I love him so
I can't even let him know
'Cause he loves my best friend
But she don't care, she loves someone elseAnd I asked my mama and she said
"Love's unkind, love's so unkind"
She said, "Just keep it mind
'Cause you may find love's unkind"Love's unkind, love's unkind
Love's unkind, love's unkindWhy does he like to leave so
Why do I have to love him so
