Love's Unkind

1. 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 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.

[Chorus:]
Love's unkind, love's unkind
Love's unkind, love's unkind
'Cause he's not mine.

2. Just the other day I was praying
He would 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.

3. Oh 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 else.

And 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".

[Chorus]

* Why does he like to leave so
Why do I have to love him so.
