Silly Love Songs

Can anyone think of good songs that have to do with someone loving someone who doesn't love them back?
I thought it would be fun to have these songs playing before our show since unrequited (and obesssive)love is the general theme of All's Well that Ends Well.
Naturally, having come up with this idea, I can't think of any good songs.
So, suggestions anyone?

"My Best Friend's Girl" by the Cars
"Every Breath You Take" by the Police
"Tango de Roxanne" from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, that one may not count though.
If you want to include "you used to love me, I still love you" songs I could come up with a few more.

Gosh, now I'm having a tough time thinking of all the songs my angsty teenage self loved (or would have loved)!

on 2007-05-05 02:51 am (UTC)Give it a listen. There's also several traditional folk songs that have that theme. Check out some of Steeleye Span's recordings. There's one about a sailor, I think it's Black-Eyed Sailor, in which the sailor courts her but then rejects her and won't marry her, after he's had her. There are several like that, mostly where men are rejected by women. Oh, and another one comes to mind, Jethro Tull's "Cap in Hand" from their album Songs in the Wood.
Hope this helps!
