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!
