31	!!Tropes, Heartaches and Sadness
32	* AbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder: "I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home" spells this out very clearly:
33	-->''Lying around home alone\
34	On a rainy night like this\
35	Starving for your love\
36	Hungry for just one kiss''
37
38	-->''Got nowhere to turn\
39	Tired of being alone\
40	Feel like breaking up somebody's home''
41	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: "Troubles, Heartaches & Sadness" has Peebles send off said issues as if they were former companions:
42	-->''Old man trouble\
43	Stop knockin' at my door\
44	You used to be a good friend of mine\
45	But you can't hang around me no more''
46	* BeAWhoreToGetYourMan: Alluded to on "Somebody's on Your Case":
47	-->''If he come home\
48	With that same old line\
49	Telling you he's tired\
50	From working overtime\
51	Don't get uptight\
52	Don't put him out tonight\
53	What you better do, girl\
54	Is get your own thing right''
55	* BreakUpSong: "I Pity the Fool" has Ann speak to her lover, pitying whoever choses to them and pitying the lover themselves for when their eventual heartbreak comes:
56	-->''I pity the fool\
57	I say I pity the fool\
58	Whoa, I pity the fool\
59	I pity that give her heart to you\
60	She'll take your love away\
61	Till she find another fool to play\
62	That's why I pity the fool''
63	* LoveMartyr: "What You Laid On Me" has Ann beg her man not to tell her of his cheating because she cannot bear the idea of him giving to another what he "laid on her".
64	* SillyLoveSongs: Several, including "Slipped, Tripped and Fell in Love", "Trouble, Heartaches & Sadness" and "99 lbs."
65	* {{Soul}}: Of the Memphis variety.
