Mama said
watch out son
skinny top
heavy bottom
I know it's easy to tell
that girl's just put you through hell

Papa said
my turn
step outside
you gotta learn
women and girls'll make your head turn
but Daddy I'm doin fine without her

Love is Unkind, love is unkind, love is unkind
Love is Unkind, love is unkind, love is unkind
Love is Unkind, love is unkind, love is unkind

up to me
they're in love
plain to see
I take a step back and start to laugh
you know love can never last

then falls out
that's when you learn
what it's about
I love you always ends
with I think we should just be friends

Love is Unkind, love is unkind, love is unkind
Love is Unkind, love is unkind, love is unkind
Love is Unkind, love is unkind, love is unkind

I wanna talk about love
I wanna talk about love
because all my life
I've been told
that love will keep you together
love is all you need
and all you need is love
love is the answer

but I remember the time
when my Mama sat me down
and she looked me in the eye
the little pea-bone with a smile
and her smile turned into a laugh
and her laugh turned into a cackle
and you know what she said
you know what she said

Love is Unkind, love is unkind, love is unkind
Love is Unkind, love is unkind, love is unkind (that's what she said)
Love is Unkind, love is unkind, love is unkind
Love is Unkind, love is unkind, love is unkind (it don't like nobody)
Love is Unkind, love is unkind, love is unkind (it don't got no friends)
Love is Unkind, love is unkind, love is unkind (it don't like nobody)
Love is Unkind, love is unkind, love is unkind (it don't got no friends)

Ladies and gentlemen
I'm gonna prove my point tonight
I'm gonna tilt my head up to the sky
I'm gonna look at the good lord in the eye
and if the good lord
wants to strike me down tonight
and I haven't found my true love
I haven't found her
if I haven't found my true love baby
if the good lord wants to strike me down tonight
and I haven't found my true love
I haven't found my true love
I'm gonna die a happy man
