This song, Dylan, “Mama, You Been on My Mind”. He wrote it in 1964. He was 23. Was anyone writing songs like this in 1964?

I’m not pacing the floor, I’m not not begging, I’m not asking you to say words like “yes” or “no,” I don’t even care who you are sleeping with. You don’t owe me a thing, basically. And I understand that you have your own life, your own desires, and that they don’t include me. I’m just thinking about you, is all, and I want you to know this. 1964!
