Top Ten Awkward, Unusual or Complicated Relationship Songs

The Top Ten
1 Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meatloaf
2 Lola - The Kinks
3 Don't Stand So Close to Me - The Police
4 The Boy With a Moon and Star on His Head - Cat Stevens
5 Triad - David Crosby
6 Coyote - Joni Mitchell
7 The Silver Tongued Devil - Kris Kristofferson
8 Stacy's Mom - Fountains of Wayne
9 Layla - Derek & the Dominos

A ballad written by Eric Clapton about his unrequited love for Pattie Boyd, wife of his friend George Harrison from The Beatles.
Maybe deserves to be at #1? (considering the degree of complication and greatness of the song... )

10 Clair - Gilbert O'Sullivan
The Contenders
11 Ben - Michael Jackson

A love song to a rat, what's unusual about that?

12 I Died for You - Iced Earth

One of my favorite metal ballads, with great powerful vocals.

"When I finally saw her
She's happy and in love
In love with my best friend
What makes it hurt so bad
Is that I love them both
And they will never know
For love I sold my soul".

13 Loverman - Metallica

It's a cover song, originally by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, but I love Metallica version better because James Hetfield voice is more dramatic. I think the song is about a married man in love with another woman, or both are married. I definitely love this song - music, lyrics and Metallica's rendition.

"There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer? )

He's shouting your name and he's asking for more

Loverman! Here I stand Forever, Amen
Cause I am what I am, what I am, what I am
Forgive me, baby, my hands are tied
And I got no choice No, I got no choice at all
I'll say it again
L is for LOVE, baby"

14 Young Girl - Gary Puckett & the Union Gap

Oh yes! Thanks to whoever added this

15 Can't Feel My Face - The Weeknd
16 Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon - Neil Diamond
17 Me and Mrs. Jones - Billy Paul
18 Love the Way You Lie - Eminem
19 Secret Lovers - Atlantic Starr

"Secret lovers, that'swhat we are. We shouldn't be together but we can't say no, no no no, because we love each other so."
Speaks for itself really...

20 Hey Ya - Outkast
21 Mendocino - Sir Douglas Quintet
22 Cracklin' Rosie - Neil Diamond
23 Teacher I Need You - Elton John
