putting together a playlist for a storytelling series with an upcoming theme about "Secret Admirers". i've got a bunch of tracks already, but i'm wondering what else Soul Strut's got.

songs about being/having a secret admirer, wanting from afar, silent attraction, not being able to tell someone how much you love them, etc.

preferably the type of track that would work with a crowd.

    I've been wanting you
    For so long it's a shame
    Oh baby
    Every time I
    Hear your name
    Oh the pain
    boy how it hurts me inside

    Cause every time we meet
    We play hide and seek
    I'm wondering what I should do
    Should I dare come up to you
    And say
    How do you do
    Would you turn me away?

    Yet in my mind I say
    If he makes his move today
    I'll just pretend to be shy
    Oh baby
    It's a tragedy...

    Talking bout we gotta use water
    But I always use some milk and cream for you
    Cause I think you're kinda sweet."

    The first one that came to mind was "Superstar" by The Carpenters.

    The Sonic Youth version of Superstar is excellent too.
