Not necessarily love-dovey crap, just good, melodic, slow songs thats I can play on bass and sing to. For example, Tommy the Cat would not be a good suggestion. 
Last night I learned "Dont Forget Me" (RHCP). Simple bass (4 double stops in succession) and the singing melody is in harmony with the bassline. Any more ideas? |

Here's one that I think you'll find appropriate: Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth).

You should transcribe The Trees (by Rush) for bass.
