Well, I see him every morning
In the schoolyard when 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
Love`s unkind
Love`s unkind
Love`s unkind
Love`s unkind
`Cause he`s not mine
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
Love`s unkind
Love`s unkind
Love`s unkind
Love`s unkind
`Cause he`s not mine
Oh, I love him so
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 in mind
`Cause you may find
Love`s unkind"
Love`s unkind
Love`s unkind
Love`s unkind
Love`s unkind
Why has love to be so
Why do I have to love him so
