Album: I Remember Yesterday

Love's Unkind

Well I seem him every morning in the schoolyard
when the schoolbell 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 praying that he'd give me a change
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
Spoken:
Oh, how I love him, 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 alive
'cause you may find love's unkind
Love's unkind, love's unkind
love's unkind, love's unkind
Spoken:
Oh, Why did I have to love him so
why did I have to love him so
