And don't forget the Oldie:

And the big old big one:
Patsy Cline:

Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad -- Derek & the Dominoes
And of course... LOVE STINKS...J Giles Band
and my favorite --- Your Breaking My Heart....Harry Nilsson
I really am old..... -
"Anyone Who Had A Heart" Written by Burt Bacharach but check out Shelby Lynne's version. It's a real heart breaker!
-
Though I much prefer The Psycho-ologist's picks above, I occasionally dig the mid-80's, so...
No One Is To Blame - Howard Jones
Something About You - Level 42 -
what's so funny bout peace love and understanding
-
Human League, "Don't you want me baby"
-
This will make an awesome playlist.

I love that howard jones song!
No One Is To Blame - Howard Jones
Something About You - Level 42 -
On the lighter side...
-
Everything But The Girl - Missing
-

Okay, since Carnivore cited Roxanne, Roxanne, I'm going to suggest Temporary Love Thing by Full Force. Also, I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt is a killer. The chorus alone will have you crying on your keyboard...
-
UTFO and Full Force really takes me back to my childhood. I remember seeing a young Blair Underwood at the end of the Temporary Love Thing video.
I have an oldie and two contemporary ones to add.
Maria - TKA
Thin Line - Jurassic 5
Stitched Up - John Mayer -
jack's mannequin rules -
Puddle of Mudd - She Fucking Hates Me
-
The OP hasn't been back
I wonder if this list is for personal use or he/she needed to find songs to match with a film or something of the sort. (I want that job btw, choosing soundtracks!)
Howdy, Stranger!
