Maybe I'm wrong, but that one strikes me as number one for all time. In the battle for second place though, my vote goes to "On My Own", from Les Miserables... <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tcEf2mEjP4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...Ef2mEjP4</a> "I love him..but only on my own" *sniff* Thoughts?

Also Layla by Eric Clapton and Time In A Bottle by Jim Croce are pretty much on target for unrequited love... Or Total Eclpise of the Heart by Juice Newton. And..................... One of my all time favorite songs by U2 and U2 & Mary J Blige - ONE!

I'm feelin' like I stuck my hand Inside a blender and turned it on. I've been in a <questionable word deleted on the off chance that Admin might not like it> of pain, Since you've been gone. I couldn't feel any worse if you dropped A two-ton bowling ball on my toes. It couldn't hurt any more if you shoved A red-hot cactus up my nose. Since you've been gone, It feels like I'm getting tetanus shots every day. Since you've been gone, It's like I've got an ice cream headache that won't go away. Ever since that day you left me, I've been so miserable, my dear. I feel almost as bad as I did, When you were still here.
