Songs about unrequited love?

My Favourite Dress by The Wedding Present.

"A long walk home, the pouring rain
i fell asleep when you never came,
Some rare delight in Manchester town
it took six hours before you let me down".
 
It Makes No Difference by The Band

"It makes no difference who I meet
They're just a face in the crowd on a dead-end street"
 
I listened or read the lyrics to most of these, but none of them quite hit the mark. It seems there are many kinds of unrequited love. Keep em coming!
 
I've been known to wallow to Nina Simone's He Needs Me:

He needs me
He doesn't know it, but he needs me
And so no matter where he goes
Though he doesn't care
He knows that I'm there

He needs me
I ought to leave him, but he needs me
I know that I ain't very bright
Just to tag along
Oh, but right or wrong
I'm his and I'm here
And I'm gonna be his friends or his lover

'Cause my one ambition is
To wake him and make him discover
That he needs me
I've got to follow where he leads me
Or else he'll never know that I need him
Just as he needs me
 
When you've never had her and never will and you can't tell her cos he has her perfect fella already and you can't do anthing but rue the day you met her?
 
I've no idea what this sounds like, but such is the brilliance of the title that I'm now trying to find it to download. :)

Wayne County and the Electric Chairs - incidentally it's the first record Jools Holland ever played on.

"If you ain't got time to take a walk with me on my meat rack you can just get the hell out of my breadline!" :D
