love's unkind

donna summer

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

not 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 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

love's unkind

love's unkind

love's unkind

love's unkind

'cause he's not mine

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

oh

why did i have to love him so

why did i have to love him so
