Love's Unkind

Love's unkind, love's unkind
I can't even let him know

And I asked my mama and she said
And left the two of them behind

For the high school dance

'Cause she loves someone else

Love's unkind, love's unkind
Love's unkind, love's unkind
Hoping he would choose me for his partner
Why does he like to leave so

'Cause he loves my best friend
Oh I love him so
Just the other day I was praying
'Cause he's not mine
Not the inside where I wanna be
I was standing outside the class
He's got a crush on my best friend, but she don't care
Love's unkind, love's unkind
She said, "Just keep it mind
I went running back inside teary-eyed
He would give me a chance
Love's unkind, love's unkind
And when he passes in the hallway
But it wasn't me, but my best friend, he asked
Love's unkind, love's unkind

I'm standing on the outside

But she don't care, she loves someone else
"Love's unkind, love's so unkind"
Well he doesn't seem to notice me
'Cause you may find love's unkind"
'Cause he's not mine
