Songs with a woman’s name in the title. And they have to be good songs. I’ll start—Melissa by The Allman Brothers Band.
“You Can’t Have Your Kate and Edith, Too” by the Statler Brothers.

I saw Angie, by the Rolling Stones on the list. Fantastic song. My other favorite would be Lola, by the Kinks. Of course, Lola was not actually about a woman…but hey “girls will be boys and boys will be girls…”
Amanda - Waylon Jennings

Anyone? Bueller?
Amy By Pure Prairie League.
Amy what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do
I saw your list of terrible songs, Jed, and I absolutely agree with all of them. I mean “I want you…” is such a terrible song. But Lola? C’mon….
