I want to compile a list of Nice Guy songs, F!S, and I hope you can help me! For clarification, by 'Nice Guy' songs I mean songs that have one person pining after someone they don't or can't have in a kind of entitled way. Also I would like to note that I don't think being a Nice Guy song necessarily makes a song bad. I'm just bored and want to make a themed playlist to amuse myself.

So far I have:
'You Belong With Me' - Taylor Swift
'Take A Chance On Me' - Abba (borderline, but anyhow)

What songs do you think fit in the category?

Way back from the 1980's - Human's League's "Don't You Want Me, Baby":

P.S. Don't ask me what's going on in that video - it's the first time I've ever seen it, I just wanted a link to the song.

The single most Nice Guy song I have ever heard is "Everybody Loves a Clown." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzUbr66ehnc

Imagine Gamzee singing that.

Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Possess Your Heart." Not only is it a Nice Guy song, but it's also a Stalker Song!

Lol, this is the first thing I thought of too.

Vertical Horizon's Everything You Want comes to mind.

This is the first song I thought of. I heard it recently on the radio was thinking "this is such a Nice Guy song".

Except that's actually a song about Jesus.

Commence debate about whether or not Jesus was a Nice Guy?

Jesus was a Nice Guy until the time came to flip some tables, and then, by God, he flipped some tables.

According to the guy who wrote the song, that's not true.

"Well, the long shot of it is I was basically in love with this beautifully complex and crazy person who could see everything around her except for the thing that could actually help her. And I just thought of a tormented glass-is-half-empty person who was in pain about a bunch of things that had happened to her in her life, and always wound up looking to the wrong places to find solace and to find help. And then when that was over, she would just be emptier than she was before. And I could just see her kind of sinking. It was written out of frustration, it was written out of sadness from my perspective, a sense of wishing that she would turn to me, and to realize that I wanted to help her. Maybe she couldn't see it being what she really needed, and she never did. So the last chorus is really that chance that I had to say, "Hey, look - enough. I love you. I can help you, but I don't mean anything to you at all." A lot of people have said that they think it might be about God, and it might be about religion, and I've always tried to steer clear of nailing it too far on the head. But if you're asking me directly, that's really where it came from."

And yet, in other interviews he gives to specific religious groups, he claims the opposite. It's either some particularly scummy shit, or he's just not willing to admit it in case it ruins his mainstream image.

crack:
"Never Gonna Give You Up" - Rick Astley

actually creepy:
"Every Breath You Take" - The Police
"All I Need" - Radiohead

a female one:

"All Mine" - Portishead

Mellencamp, Key West Intermezzo.

but the most guilty has to be "Grenade"

Barbara Allen. I mean, Sweet William's whole "I'll die if I can't have you and then you'll be sorry" shtick--how can it not be? Sweet William (or Jem Grove, depending on which variant you sing) is the ultimate passive-aggressive nice guy.

Cooler Than Me always came off as this to me.

YES, THIS

Oh God, how could I forget: Schubert's Winterreise! Nobody wangsts in this degenerate age like they wangsted in 1827!

LMNT's Hey Juliet.
