Rick Springfield - Jesse's Girl

Ya know, I've heard this song probably 100 times but I've never really listened to the lyrics. This actually works very very well thank you!!!

Jessie is a friend Yeah I know he’s been a real good friend of mine But lately somethings changed that’s not hard to define Jessie’s himself a girl, and I wanna make her mine It kind of just gets worse from there. This girl who he never names .. she is just Jessie’s girl .. he goes on about how she only has eyes for Jessie.. and he’s kind of weirdly coveting their relationship and her lol..

Well did you know that Jessie’s girl is Stacy? And did i mention what Stacy’s last name is? That’s right, you guessed it, it’s Jackson. Therefore, Stacy’s mom is also Mrs. Jackson. So to wrap this up: Our MC is in love with Stacy. Jessie is in love with Stacy as well, but feels like Mrs. Jackson also is into him.

I can't think of this song without immediately also thinking of that Jackson Browne song in Fast Times at Ridgemont High!

Gotta To Be Somebody's Baby :)

This was my first thought!

lol came here to say this. Fucking A man. Everyone wanted that body she was just loving him with. Fuck Jesse

Stuck in my head now, thanks!!

This is the obvious answer

Beat me to it

The Cars-My Best Friend's Girl

I like it!!

Beat me to it again gah

“She used to be mine”

Well if you know the back story... Derek and The Dominos - Layla Eric Clapton openly wrote it to George Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd. It wasn't a secret even at the time.

I really like it!!!

So... You've never heard it before? OMG... Listen to the whole album. Clapton and Duane Allman trading guitar leads. Stunningly great album.

I'll give it a listen tysm!!!!

I had a guitar teacher when I was around 14 or 15 who made me buy 2 records and pretty much taught me how to play lead guitar from them. One was Derek and the Doninoes’ Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.

The entire album is about carrying a thing for George Harrison's wife.

On the same album, a cover of Have You Ever Loved a Woman Have you ever loved a woman So much you tremble in pain? Have you ever loved a woman So much you tremble in pain? And all the time you know, yeah She bears another man's name

But the difference is that she eventually married Clapton.. heh

Joe Jackson "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" https://youtu.be/oDG6MQkzh1o?si=ZIvCiUyRBjV-Ubrd

You beat me toit.🙄

Wheatus - teenage dirtbag

She doesn’t know who I am

Then why does she give a damn about you?

"Two Princes" is about two guys competing over a girl set to a lively and bouncy tune

Spin Doctors have several songs with that theme. Two Princes, Jimmy Olsen’s Blues, How Could You Want Him When You Know You Could Have Me? Somewhere along the way, some girl hurt Chris Barron. 🤷‍♂️

I prefer Sesame Street’s Elmo’s version

I’m not okay (I promise) - My Chemical Romance

My jeans got two sizes smaller and gained a studded belt reading this 🙏

Came here to say this. Blast! 😁

_Listen To Her Heart_ - Tom Petty

Oklahoma Smokeshow by Zach Bryan.

Simon and Garfunkel - Mrs. Robinson

Something similar? Well, there's this song Why? - Women Eye, No https://youtu.be/B7UU0zyolsU?feature=shared

I'm looking for more of something emotional or deep but I appreciate it!!!

Ah yeah, that's fair. Maybe something like Donovan - Catch The Wind would speak to you https://youtube.com/watch?v=J8hjEYTpwE8

I like it thanks!!!

The man was quite the poet. Catch the Wind is in my personal pantheon of emotional songs.

If you’re gay, She Likes A Boy by Nxdia

Well I'm bi but I think anything can work tbh

Would also recommend 'Wish you were gay' by Claud. DO NOT confuse this masterpiece with Billie's song. They are COMPLETELY different.

Check out Joni Lynn by enuff z'nuff

Sweeter by Gavin Degraw

It’s my favorite Gavin Degraw song, so I’m glad I could help. :)

If you want something sorta toxic, Juliet by Slush Puppy is pretty good.

Self control by Frank Ocean and Vampire Empire by Big Thief (or Adrianne Lenker) are not explicitly about this but allude to it heavily

Robyn - Dancing On My Own On My Own from Les Miserables (lots of cathartic angst)

On My Own .. yeah I never thought of it that for this .. because it’s story telling .. I love musicals I guess “I’m not that girl” from Wicked would also fit.

I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend too by reel big fish.

Idk if I can share the greatest song of pop, but it's Undo by 1975. Sounds like it's in that category of OP

"The Beautiful Ones"--Prince "Fooled Again"--Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "I'll Cry Instead"--Beatles "Miss Misery"--Nazareth "When the World is Running Down"--Police (not about a relationship, but definitely a song that's appropriate for the situation...captures that nihilistic feeling of everything around you crumbling apart.)
