Love is unkind

Mama said "Watch out son! Skinny top, heavy bottom!"

Oh I see it's easy to tell that girl is putting you through hell

Papa said "my turn, step outside, you gotta learn

women and girls will make your head turn!"

but Daddy I'm doing fine without her

Love is unkind (3x)

Couple comes up to me

they're in love it's plain to see

take a step back and start to laugh

you know love can never last

Love comes in then falls out

that's when you learn what's it about ... Love is unkind (3x)

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

and I remember the time when my mama sat me down

and she looke 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 (3x) /It don't like nobody/ 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 if I haven't found her

if I haven't found my true love then baby....

if the good Lord wants to strike me down tonight

and I haven't found my true love

I'M GONNA DIE A HAPPY MAN !!! Mama said "Watch out son! Skinny top, heavy bottom!"
