That is a very touching tune.
Or, as edited by one of the local garage bands: "Why don't we sock it to me in the road?" Judy Carne would be so pleased.

This is the earliest one I can remember.

'Honey' was one of those tunes I used to instantly change the station when it came on.
This one I liked, though not a tearjerker
"At Seventeen" - Janis Ian:
The music is upbeat on this next one, but the lyrics represent classic teenage lovesickness.
"Only Sixteen" - Sam Cooke:

Purely coincidental, this was spinning when my first high school girlfriend called with the inevitable "Dear John"(or would that be 'dear Mike'?)phone conversation…
Oh the irony. Then, just to twist the knife, the follow-up track has this chorus…
"Oh, oh, oh, you keep hangin' 'round me,
And I'm not so glad you found me.
You're still doing things that I gave up years ago"
Ah, Lou, always got me through the tough times.

This was never heard in the US, but apparently was a major bum trip in the UK, banned by the BBC(but then, didn't they ban everything?); big hit there, standard dead boyfriend stuff…
