When Will I Be Loved (Linda Ronstadt, 1975; Everly Brothers, The, 1960). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-05-26. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"

"When Will I Be Loved," written by Phil Everly, was a major hit for both The Everly Brothers in 1960 and Linda Ronstadt in 1975 rising to the no. 8 and no. 2 positions on the Billboard Hot 100 chart respectively (Whitburn, 2013). This was also Ronstadt's first no. 1 hit on Billboard's Country Top Singles chart the same year (Whitburn, 1994). According to songfacts (2022), "Phil Everly wrote this in his car, parked outside an A&W root beer stand. He took inspiration from his on-again, off-again romance with Jackie Ertel-Bleyer, the stepdaughter of Cadence Records founder, Archie Bleyer."

Lyrics:

I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved

I've been pushed down
I've been pushed 'round
When will I be loved

When I find a new girl
That I want for mine
She always breaks my heart in two
It happens every time

I've been made blue
I've been lied to
When will I be loved

When I find a new girl
That I want for mine
She always breaks my heart in two
It happens every time

Oh, I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved
When will I be loved
Tell me, when will I be loved
