Dionne Warwick 'Anyone who had a heart'

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Tin Soldier by The Small Faces is my favourite song of unrequited love:

I'm a little tin soldier
that wants to jump into your fire
you are a look in your eye
a dream passing by in the sky
I don't understand
all I need is treat me like a man
'cause I ain't no child
take me like I am
I got to know that I belong to you
do anything that you want to do
sing any so song that you want me to sing to you
I don't need no aggravation
I just got to make you
I just got to make you my occupation
I got to know that I belong to you
do anything that you want to do
sing any so song that you want me to sing to you
All I need is your whispered hello
smiles melting the snow
nothing heard
you eyes are deeper than time
say a love that won't rhyme without words
so now I've lost my way
I need help to show me things to say
give me your love before mine fades away
I got to know that I belong to you
do anything that you want to do
sing any so song that you want me to sing to you
oh no no
I just want some reaction
someone to give me satisfaction
all I want to do is stick with you ,'cause I love you

Grapes don't get any sourer than Loudon Wainwright III's Unrequited to the Nth Degree:

Oh when I die and it won't be long
Hey you're gonna be sorry that you treated me wrong
Yeah you're gonna be sorry that you treated me bad
Hey and if there's an after life I'll gloat and I'll be glad

Might be a plane crash, or some sort of OD
Hey there's going to be a photograph with my obituary
You're gonna see it and you'll cry
You're gonna wanna wear black
Hey, I'll be dead but you can bet your life, I'm gonna get you back

I'm tired of being left up on your shelf
I might not wait around, I might kill myself
Not only would you miss me, but you'd feel guilty to
Oh I'd be dead but it'd be too late the joke would be on you.

Ha ha ha ha, ho ho ho ho
Chuckle chuckle chuckle chuckle
Snigger snigger snigger snigger
Guffaw Guffaw Guffaw Guffaw Guffaw Guffaw
Yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk

So you better take warning, start treating me good
Start doing the things that I think you should
And you better not pout and no you better not cry
The grim reaper is a-comin' to town and I just might die!

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Waiting In Vain - Marley. Except he was already married and didn't have to wait that long to bed her either.

 

[Belushi]

I didn't say I was suffering from it. Maybe I'm writing a book....

You want me to sort her fella out?

 

[Orang Utan]

You want me to sort her fella out?

No! He deserves her!

Linton Kwesi Johnson - "Lorraine"

"I invited you in for coffee
You just laughed and said 'Kiss m'botty!'
I felt so ashamed Lorraine"

 

[19sixtysix]

One more vote for Billy Bragg's Saturday Boy.
It defines unrequited.
I was 16 when it came out and I still feel like the Saturday Boy

 

[Stevil]

Ian Hunter - Irene Wilde

Linton Kwesi Johnson - "Lorraine"

"I invited you in for coffee
You just laughed and said 'Kiss m'botty!'
I felt so ashamed Lorraine"

I thought that tune had already been reserved for "worst lyrics in reggae" award.
