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
