What A Fool Believes--Doobie Brothers
I'm not sure this fits. The rest are "I can't stay away from you" songs (which, incidentally, was a song by the Miami Sound Machine that fits). "What a Fool Believes" is a third-person POV. Also, I don't think the man in the song believes that the woman is bad for him -- he just carries a torch for her and doesn't realize that she has moved on.
Maybe the Miracles, "You've Really Got a Hold on Me," or Lesley Gore, "Maybe I Know."

I see the point, and it definitely is a different POV, but I included it because it's a variation on the same basic theme, to my mind anyway, just seen from the outside.
Use me
is sort of the same--everyone else is telling him the woman is no good, but he doesn't care.
In the same vein, how about Percy Sledge's "When A Man Loves A Woman"? Oh, and the Offspring's "Get A Job".
Pete Townsend, "Secondhand Love"
Joni Mitchell, "A Case of You" and "Help Me"
Oh! Ok, whether this song fits is open to interpretation, but I think the tone is right. Plus, it's simply a phenomenal song. One of the few songs that grabbed me to the point that I still remember where I was the first time I heard it. The Whitlams, "No Aphrodisiac". [link]
(It is also one of Ryan's favourite songs, because we fail at parenting. He also likes Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt", and it is quite funny to hear this incredulous voice occasionally pipe up from the back seat with "My sweetest friend?!?")
Another one: Beyonce, "If I Were A Boy".
Wham, "Everything She Wants".
I can tell I am going to be hitting itunes a lot when I get home.
More of the Australian contingent: Kylie Minogue, "Better The Devil You Know".
Lee, do you has the Rihanna version of Love the Way You Lie? It's slightly different.
Christina Aguilera has one called "Elastic Love" but I'm not a huge fan of the song.
James, Laid.
Florence and the Machine, Cosmic Love
