Ever get stuck on a song? This particular song doesn't keep playing in my head ad nauseam; it's more that I can't get enough of it. It is "I Who Have Nothing" by Luther Vandros and Martha Wash. The original was done by Shirley Bassey. Do some Googling if you aren't familiar as the two versions are very different in style. I had heard the song a few times, but I fell in love with it when I really listened. The lyrics are so beautiful - unrequited love. What woman can't relate?
First verse:
I who have nothing,
I who have no one,
adore you and want you so.
I'm just a no one
with nothing to give you,
but oh! I love you.
