    Uh, you're 0 for 3.

    Not singling you out, because many others in this thread have made the same mistake — but either you don't know these songs, or you've failed to read the thread title.

    I did both but haven't listened to these songs for ages so only remembered bits of them.

    Lori McKenna - Susanna

    Singer-songwriter from Stoughton/Massachusetts.
    "Susanna" was inspired by Guy Clark's wife Susanna Clark, who died from cancer in 2012. A track from Lori McKenna's album "Massachusetts" which was self-released in 2013.

    "Susanna, what's he gonna do without you
    When you know he's not meant for this world alone
    Susanna, who's he gonna sing to now that you're gone"

    Nope.

    First word of the song, not the song's title.

    Why is this thread’s concept so hard for people to grasp?

    SHFers gonna SHF, I guess.

    First song I thought of was by Concrete Blonde, which fits the OP's criteria completely. (Name=first word of song AND complete title of song.) Only problem is I'm pretty sure "Joey" is a guy, not a girl, although the gender is never specified. (In real life Johnette wrote it about her relationship with Marc Moreland of Wall Of Voodoo.) So if you're open-minded, this one works.
