What are some of your favorite songs with titles that are modified versions of famous adages, expressions or sayings?

 

 

One example:

“Better Love Next Time” by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, 1979.  The expression is ‘better luck next time’.





LYRICS:

I'm your friend, you can talk to me

I read your face, I see misery

So the one you love has left you dry

Don't start believing that you're gonna die

Just pick your heart up off the floor

And try, try again

You'll find better love next time, baby

Don't give up and I know you're gonna find

Better love next time, baby

Someone will be waiting down the line

With better love, better love, better love, better love next time

Sometimes it's better to let it all go

I've been there and I think I should know

So have a good cry, wash out your heart

If you keep it inside it'll tear you apart

Sometimes you lose but you're gonna win

If you just, if you just keep hanging in

You'll find better love next time, baby

Don't give up and I know you're gonna find

Better love next time, baby

Someone will be waiting down the line

With better love, better love, better love, better love next time

You'll find better love next time, baby

Don't give up and I know you're gonna find

Better love next time, baby

Someone will be waiting down the line

With better love, better love, better love, better love next time

Better love next time, baby

Don't give up
