Lyrics

Love's Unkind

Well, I see him every morning in the schoolyard

Before 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, no 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 hoping he would give me a chance

Hoping he would choose me for his partner

In 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

Love's unkind

Love's unkind

Love's unkind

Love's unkind
