Love's Unkind

[Verse 1] Well, I see him every morning In the schoolyard while 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 [Verse 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 [Chorus] Love's unkind Love's unkind Love's unkind Love's unkind 'Cause he's not mine [Bridge] 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" [Chorus] Love's unkind Love's unkind Love's unkind Love's unkind [Outro] Why has life to be so? Why do I have to love him so?
