I think "Jenny and the Ess-Dog" by Stephen Malkmus does it perfectly.

What would you choose?

"Never Before, Never Again," by the dB's, off their little-heard but overwhelmingly great LP The Sound of Music.

I second Keith's choice "The World Is Flat". It's about a love story from beginning to end. It really "encompasses" a relationship.

"I Wanna Fuck You In The Ass" - The Outhere Brothers

― Well, I can't disappoint my LEGION OF FANS (Dan Perry), Monday, 16 December 2002 15:52 (twenty-three years ago)

in its "superficial" and carefree way, 'Goodbuy Hello' manages to "unwrap up" a number of basics

Golden Shower of Hits - Circle Jerks

Different kind of relationship, but -- "Postcard From A Hooker In Minneapolis" - Tom Waits. Oh, even typing it brings a lump to my throat.

"Wheels" by Husker Du

On a date with Sharon Tate
I'm gonna pick her up in my new crate
well we go to the movies we go to a drag
the highway patrol puts us both in a bag

"Postcard..." indeed. God-dang that's a powerful song.

And my contribution...

"Me and a Gun" by Tori Amos, although not the same kind of relationship y'all had in mind.
