What are a few songs about having a crappy love life? Not necessarily stuff like On My Own, but more along the lines of "One Hundred Easy Ways" from Wonderful Town or "You Can Always Count On Me" from City of Angels?

"Can't Get a Man with a Gun" from Annie Get Your Gun immediately comes to mind

"I Resolve" from She Loves Me.
