UNREQUITED LOVE SONGS

 

How about the "other" love song. Not about breakups or lost loves, but the love that is not returned.

 

My first choice would be a beautiful love song that most people may not think of as unrequited. 

 

"Cherish" - The Association

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCfKvuh_uq8

 

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could mold you
Into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you

Nova Baby - The Black Keys

 

All this love of mine
All my precious time
You waste it cause you
Don't know what you want
You don't know what you want

There go the kids, the have-nots
Elevator ladies in the parking lots
You saw it all and I recall
The dream you told me, dream you told me.

This empty heart, you left me with
The ribbon on my parting gift
I'm falling hard for every yard
Of the dream you sold me, dream you sold me, oh!

All your enemies
Smile when your fall
You take it cause you
Don't know what you want
You don't know what you want

All this love of mine
All my precious time
You waste it cause you
Don't know what you want
You don't know what you want

Say A Little Prayer - Dionne Warwick

 

By the end of the song, it turns out to be wishful thinking on her part.
