For the high school dance
'Cause he's not mine
Just the other day I was praying
But she don't care, she loves someone else
Love's unkind, love's unkind
Not the inside where I wanna be
She said, "Just keep it mind
But it wasn't me, but my best friend, he asked
I was standing outside the class
'Cause he loves my best friend
Love's unkind, love's unkind
'Cause you may find love's unkind"
And I asked my mama and she said
Well he doesn't seem to notice me
Love's unkind, love's unkind
He's got a crush on my best friend, but she don't care
Love's unkind, love's unkind
And when he passes in the hallway
Love's unkind, love's unkind
Love's unkind, love's unkind
Why does he like to leave so
Oh I love him so
'Cause he's not mine
I'm standing on the outside
I can't even let him know
"Love's unkind, love's so unkind"
'Cause she loves someone else
Hoping he would choose me for his partner
I went running back inside teary-eyed
He would give me a chance
And left the two of them behind
