Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I see 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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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"

[Verse 6]

Love's unkind

Love's unkind

Love's unkind

Love's unkind

Why does life treat me so?

Why do I need to love him so?
