Feel free to add you own favorites!
The problem is all inside your head she said to meThe problem is all inside your head she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
She said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
(Simon and Garfunkel)

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow
Don' you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of heats is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late
Eagles

Great post!!! There are so many!! But as the BS #1 has to be "The Doors" I been done so GD long that it looks like up to me off their LA Woman album... for those younsters in the crowd and album is like a giant CD, sort of.
Just to show that I'm not that OLD my current fav is Nicklebacks "Someday" when I heard the song start out with... HOW THE HELL'D WE END UP LIKE THIS... it had me. Great song all the way thru though check it out.
And always remember IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!!!! which is actually a line from a Travis Tritt song.

To really love a woman,
To understand her,
You've got to know her deep inside ...
Hear every thought,
See every dream,
And give her wings when she wants to fly.
Then when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms ...
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's really wanted.
When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's the one.
'Cause she needs somebody, to tell her that it's gonna last forever.
So tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved a woman?
To really love a woman,
Let her hold you,
Till you know how she needs to be touched.
You've got to breathe her, really taste her,
'Til you can feel her in your blood
when you can see your unborn children in her eyes ...
You know you really love a woman.
When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's really wanted.
When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's the one.
'Cause she needs somebody, to tell her that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved a woman?
You've got to give her some faith,
Hold her tight, a little tenderness.
You've got to treat her right.
She will be there for you taking good care of you ...
You really gotta love your woman yeah.
And when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms,
You know you really love a woman.
When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's really wanted.
When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's the one.
She needs somebody, to tell her that it's gonna last forever.
So tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved a woman?
yeah
Just tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved a woman?
Oh Just tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved a woman?

Anything by Coldplay - lots of loss and unrequited love in their stuff.
Here's from the new Loretta Lynn CD:
Family Tree
Woman, you don't know me
But you can bet that I know you
Everybody in this whole darn town
Knows you too
I brought along our little babies
'Cause I wanted them to see
The woman that's burning down
Our family tree
Their daddy once was a good man
Until he ran into trash like you
Now take a look at the baby's face
And tell me who loves who
I brought along his old dog Charlie
And the bills that's overdue
The job you're working
Lord, we need money too
No I didn't come to fight
If he was a better man I might
But I wouldn't dirty my hands
On trash like you
Bring out the babies' daddy
That's who they came to see
Not the woman that's burning down
Our family tree

When you just give love
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it so
And yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You
Made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love
Brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Well it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
You love me
Then you snub me
But what can I do
I'm still in love with you
Well I
Guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you...

Bill Withers
"Who is He?"
A man we passed just tried to stare me down
and when I looked at you
you looked at the ground
I dont know who he is
but I think that you do
daggonit who is he and what is he to you?
Ahh
somethings in my heart and in your eyes
tells me he's not someone just passing by
Ahh
and when you cleared your throat was that your cue?
daggonit who is he and what is he to you?
Ahh now
When I add the sum of you and me
I get confused and I keep comin' up with three
you too much for one man
but not enough for two
daggonit who is he and what is he to you?
Well
You tell me men don't have much intuition
Is that what you really thinkin girl
Or are you wishing?
Before you wreck your old home
please tell them of the new
daggonit who is he and what is he to you?
daggonit who is he and what is he to you?
daggonit who is he and what is he to you?
daggonit who is he and what is he to you?

One More...for love's sake...
Percy Sledge
Track Title: When A Man Loves A Woman
Album Title: Atlantic Rhythm & Blues: Vol 6, 1965-1967
Lyrics:
When a man loves a woman,
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else,
He'd change the world for the good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it,
She can do no wrong,
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down
When a man loves a woman,
'Spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain,
If she said that's the way
It ought to be
Well, this man loves you, woman
I gave you everything I have,
Tryin' to hold on to your hot blood long
Baby, please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman,
Down deep in his soul,
She can bring him such misery
If she is playin' him for a fool,
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can never see
When a man loves a woman
he can do her no wrong,
he can never hug
some other girl
Yes,When a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels,
'Cause baby, baby, you're my girl
When a man loves a woman...

Yes you know why
Why you and I
Will by and by
Know true love ways
Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And we'll know why
Just you and I
Know true love ways
Throughout the days
Our true love ways
Will bring us joy to share
With those who really care
Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And we'll know why
Just you and I
Know true love ways
Buddy Holly

BS on Plan A! (I bet you feel like that)
NEW GIMMICKS! FROM ME>>> FIGHT THE FOG!
Tina Turner
Don't Leave Me This Way
Written by - Paul Barry, Mark Taylor & Brian Rawling
From - Twenty-Four Seven
All of my life, all of my life
I've been searching for a love like ours
Somewhere to stay, somewhere safe in your arms
I was so sure
Are you really saying your heart's changing?
Do you really mean goodbye?
Chorus:
Don't leave me this way, no, no
Don't tell me it's over
We've only begun and our love is so young
You're leaving me nowhere
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Say what's on your mind, one thing at a time
And I promise you, we'll talk it through
Don't walk away, there's so much more to say
Though my words seem lost on you
Can't believe you're talking like we're just friends
Can't you see the tears I've cried?
Chorus
Are you really saying your heart's changing?
Do you really mean it this time?
Baby...Don't leave me this way, oh no

Here is one that I play when I'm a bit miffed. I think that Robert Smith was having a bad day when he wrote this.
Shiver And Shake
by Cure, The
Album : Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
You're just a waste of time
You're just a babbling face
You're just three sick holes that run like sores
You're a f@#&ing waste
You're like a slug on the floor
Oh! you're useless and ugly
And useless and ugly
And I shiver and shake
When I think of how you make me hate

I hear... a voice say "Don't be so blind"...
it's telling me all these things...
that you would probably hide...
am I... your one and only desire...
am I the reason you breath...
or am I the reason you cry...
Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I guess that i'm out the door...
and now i'm done with you...
I feel... like you don't want me around...
I guess i'll pack all my things...
I guess i'll see you around...
Inside... it bottles up until now...
as I walk out your door...
all I hear is the sound...
Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I guess that i'm out the door...
and now i'm done with you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I left my head around your heart...
Why would you tear my world apart...
Always... always... always... always...
I see... the blood all over your hands...
does it make you feel... more like a man...
was it all... just a part of your plan...
this pistol's shakin' in my hands...
and all I hear is the sound...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I guess that i'm out the door...
and now i'm done with you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I pick myself off the floor...
and now i'm done with you...
Always...
Always...
Always...

FYI...Liz Phair's H had an A, and then she had an A. She wrote about it extensively.
Jealousy
Standing on the corner watching the ladies pass by
Imagining me behind your eyes
And what did I see?
I saw hips, I saw thighs
I saw secret positions that we never try
I saw jealousy
I saw jealousy
I can't, I can't believe it
But it's here in this place and I see it
It's all I can do to conceal my feelings of jealousy
Jealousy
Down
Butterfly lets her wing brush past your shoulder
I know you know her around by the way she's so familiar
You keep bringin' me Down
All the time you were telling me you loved me
You've been sleeping around
And the shame of it hangs above me like a cloud
I'm hearing lies
I'm feeling the sting of surprise
I make myself stand up and leave
And turn my back on your hollow pleas
Let it ride
Let the wind blow past my shoulders
Let the road like a ribbon unwind
And the pain of it make me older
Let the world keep bringin' me Down
Divorce Song
And the license said
You had to stick around until I was dead
But if you're tired of looking at my face I guess I already am
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright
Finally, one by Liz from the point of view of a WS:
Take a Look
I don't know what you're after
Wannna know all the details of my disaster
Like an accident on the side of the road
When you're driving past slow but there's nothing to see here
Wanna take a look, take a look
I'm some kind of freak now and
You'll never see me the same
What's all the fuss about?
Are you sure you wanna find out?
Cause once you know the truth
You might wish you'd walked away
What if I'm not able
To put my cards on the table?
And would it liberate you
If you knew what I knew?
It's been over a year now and
I never saw him again
The facts and the fiction
Collide as the bodies untangle
And the traffic moves on like it did
Wanna take a look, take a look

How about this one:
"Nobody"
Reba McIntire
(don't know writer)
Sittin' in a restaurant she walks by
I seem to recall that certain look in your eye
I said "who's that?"
you said with a smile, "oh it's nobody" "oh nobody"
Well maybe that explains the last 2 weeks
You called me up, dead on your feet,
Workin' late again, I ask who with,
You said "Nobody" "ah, nobody"
Well your "Nobody" called today,
She hung up when I asked her name
Well I wonder, does she think she's being clever,
Well you say nobody's after you,
The fact is what you say is true,
But I can love you like nobody can, EVEN BETTER!!

Leonard Cohen, "Humbled in Love"
"Do you remember all of those pledges
That we pledged in the passionate night?
Ah they're soiled now, they're torn at the edges
Like moths on a still yellow light.
No penance serves to renew them.
No massive transfusions of trust.
Why not even revenge can undo them,
So twisted these vows and so crushed.
And you say you've been humbled in love.
Cut down in your love,
Forced to kneel in the mud next to me.
Ah but why so bitterly turn from the one
Who kneels there as deeply as thee?
Children have taken these pledges,
They have ferried them out of the past.
Oh beyond all the graves and the hedges
Where love must go hiding at last.
And here where there is no description,
Oh here in the moment at hand.
No sinner need rise up forgiven,
No victim need limp to the stand.
And you say you've been humbled in love...
And look dear heart, look at the virgin!
Look how she welcomes him into her gown!
Yes, and mark how the stranger's cold armour
Dissolves like a star falling down.
Why trade this vision for desire,
When you may have them both?
You will never see a man this naked.
I will never hold a woman this close.
And you say you've been humbled in love..."

OK, but this is really my favorite - can't tell you who sings it, or who wrote it, but it speaks volumes about the amount of forgiveness our Heavenly Father has given us, and with His help, we too can forgive.
For anybody who is not familiar with Hosea (Bible character) - God allowed/told him to marry a woman who was outside his faith, and in fact a "heathen" and was living in a land that sold women, felt they were not much more than prostitutes. (Lot more to it, but that gives you the basics.) Anyway, was God's picture for His favorite (Israel) was lived through the life of Hosea. So, Hosea meets/marries this beautiful woman, who later leaves him to go back to her homeland and prostitute herself. The place she was from, at certain times, would hold auctions for the "used up" ones to be sold.....that's where this song comes in...
"I've Come to Take You Home"
Go plead with your mother, were the words of Hosea, as he sent his children to extend his mercy. So they journeyed down the old road that led to much destruction, all the while their anxious hearts were hurting. Their hope was crushed inside, as their compassion was denied, the woman they so loved seemed like a stranger, so heart-broken and alone they took the long road home, for sin now reigned, and hope seemed gone to change her.
One day the word was told that some slaves were being sold. A restless love sent Hosea seeking. All at once they brought them in, so beaten down within, but in his chest, his anxious heart was beating. All at once she caught his eye, and from his lips the bids were high, she couldn't believe the words she could hear. Would he through judgement take her life, forever end his pain and strife, what would happen as she saw him drawing near her?
He said, I've come to take you home! I know that you've done wrong...but for you I'd give my life, through the sorrow pain and strife, I just couldn't let you go. So let's leave the past behind, love conquers one more time. He took her hand and said, there's a new day just ahead. He said I've come to take you home.

(my mantra...)
I ain't gonna give up on love,
Love ain't gonna give up on me.
I ain't gonna give up on love,
Love ain't gonna give up on me.
Every tear I cried
Only washed away the fear inside.
I just ain't gonna give up on love.
Every beat of my heart
Pounds with joy and not with pain.
Every beat of my heart
Pounds with joy and not with pain.
All those painful memories
They only brought me to my knees,
'Cause I was giving up on love.
Little Johnny Taylor told me so, so long ago,
All about the midnight crying, oh lord,
All the cheating and lying
And about the price that must be paid.
'Cause if we gave up on love,
Well, love will surely have its day.
If we don't give up on love.
I ain't gonna give up on love,
Love ain't gonna give up on me.
I ain't gonna give up on love,
Love ain't gonna give up on me.
Every time I try,
Lord, it just won't let me be.
Greg Allman (I think?)
