Not exactly a love song, I don't know that Springsteen has written a proper saccharine love song, but I do love me some tracks off of Tunnel of Love, particularly Tougher Than the Rest:

There's also Leap of Faith which I think he wrote about his wife. I like it but it has cringeworthy lines like:

    Now you were the Red Sea I was Moses I kissed you and slipped into a bed of roses The waters parted and love rushed inside

The Boss does not write ballads. Leap of Faith is good but his wife has red hair so there's not a lot of subtle artistry going on there. I think it has another really bad line so I'm not linking to the song.
