It’s a female vocalist, recorded in the last year or two, and the chorus goes something like this:

“So I cry, I pray, and I beg:  
Love me, love me.  
Say that you love me.  
Love me, Love me.  
Pretend that you love me.  
I don’t care 'bout anything but you.”

Any ideas???

That’s the Cardigans - the song is called “Love Fool.”

I got an idea, how 'bout never bringing that song up again.
