" Make the Man Love Me"  From the musical ' A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' music by Arthur Schwartz and Lyrics by Dorothy Fields. Dorothy was one of the finest female lyricists who worked with Jerome Kern, Jimmy McHugh ( The Sunny Side of the Street) and Cy Coleman on several musicals like "Seesaw.'
The song has a lovely verse that establishes the mood and content of what is to follow in the main chorus or refrain. It is sung by Maureen McGovern in a controlled but passionate exploration of a desire to be loved, in this case, by the character's own husband, a very troubled soul.
The piano accompaniment provides a near orchestral background. I have found that sometimes  just a piano, accompanying a singer, allows one to focus on the melody itself and how well the singer delivers the words and music.
Concert or art songs by opera and classicly trained singers are often ably supported by just the piano.
