Cover art for He Never Got Enough Love lyrics by Lucinda Williams

This is one of the saddest songs I know. If you meet a boy like this, be kind to him.

Her whole 1992 album Sweet Old World is an emotional masterpiece IMO. I have a YouTube playlist titled Tearjerkers and Classic Schmaltz. It currently has 75 items. This, and the album's title track are both on it, this is at No. Four.
