美國迪斯可女王［唐娜桑瑪］──迪斯可／流行舞曲佳作──［Love’s Unkind／刻薄的愛］

Well I seem him every morning in the schoolyard

When the schoolbell rings

And when he passes in the hallway

Well he doesnt seem to notice me

Hes got a crush on my best friend

But she dont care, cause she loves someone else

Im standing on the outside, no the inside where I wanna be

Loves unkind, loves unkind

Loves unkind, loves unkind

cause hes not mine

Just the other day I was praying that hed give me a change

Hoping he would choose me for his partner

For the high school dance

I was standing outside the class

But it wasnt me, but my best friend, he asked

I went running back inside teary-eyed

And left the two of them behind

Loves unkind, loves unkind

Loves unkind, loves unkind

cause hes not mine

Spoken:

Oh, how I love him, but I cant even let him know

cause he loves my best friend

But she dont care, she loves someone else

And I asked my mama, and she said: loves unkind

Loves so unkind

She said: just keep it alive

cause you may find loves unkind

Loves unkind, loves unkind

Loves unkind, loves unkind

Spoken:

Oh, Why did I have to love him so

Why did I have to love him so

１９７７年５月　２８歲的美國迪斯可紅星唐娜桑瑪（Donna Summer）發行第五張大碟──概念專輯［I Remembered Yesterday／我記得昨日］, 距離上張［Four Seasons of Love］只有七個月時間

大碟仍由Giorgio Moroder, Pete Bellotte製作 唐娜則參與八首歌曲寫作

首支主打［Cant We Just Sit Down (And Talk It Over)］反應普通（Billboard靈魂榜＃２０）

不過B面歌曲［I Feel Love］更受歡迎　最後取而代之　成為A面主打　在國際大賣　登上英國榜冠軍（１００萬張＋）　美國榜＃６（百萬金唱片）　其它地區亦是Top１０熱門曲

唱片公司因而在歐洲又推出三首主打（類計五首）

其中第四國際單曲是［Love’s Unkind／刻薄的愛］

此曲由唐娜與Giorgio Moroder, Pete Bellotte創作, 歌詞是高中女生對同學的迷戀, 跟她先前性暗示的歌曲有明顯區別

曲風除保有當代迪斯可節拍外 並加入靈魂, R&B等曲風 節拍穩健有勁

［Love’s Unkind］在英國廣受歡迎, 登上單曲榜＃３　賣出５０萬張以上　拿到金唱片

其它地區：愛爾蘭亞軍　德國／奧地利＃１８　比利時＃２５　荷蘭＃２８

美國雖然推出單曲, 但以［I Remembered Yesterday］整張專輯型式登上舞曲榜冠軍

在數首單曲的助益下　大碟有不錯表現：美國＃１８（金唱片－５０萬張＋）

英國榜＃３（金唱片－１０萬張＋）　德國＃7　西班牙冠軍　奧地利＃３　荷蘭＃６　挪威＃５　法國（金唱片－１０萬張＋）

［Love’s Unkind］是唐娜在歐洲最受歡迎的單曲之一
