Late to the party as usual, but...

First two lines of the first 20 non-instrumental, non-repeating-artist, non-title-in-first-line songs from my randomized everything-I-have-jumbled-together-'cause-I'm-too-lazy-to-sort-or-filter playlist.

Guess the title and (where applicable) the artist:

When there is love, then you look for the one.
