The 50s duet, Shirley & Lee also had a song with that title.

And in addition to the songs listed earlier titled One, don't forget that "singular sensation" titled One from the musical A Chorus Line.

Just this morning I heard "Love Bites" by Def Leppard on the way to work. While on lunch I heard "Love Bites (So Do I)" by Halestorm. Not exact same title, but close enough.

While driving earlier today I was playing the Gaslight Anthem's most recent album. One of the songs on it is "Ain't That a Shame." It bears no resemblance whatsoever to the better-known song of that name performed by (among others) Fats Domino, Cheap Trick, and Paul McCartney.

[Pete from Boston]

"Hold My Hand" (Hootie & the Blowfish song)

And none of them will now replace this playing in my head.  This is an evil, evil thing you have done.

Judas Priest also has a "Love Bites".

Another close two:

Dancing In the Dark by Bruce Springsteen (1984) and In the Dark by Dev (2012).  In the latter, the line "dancing in the dark" is repeated several times.

Make that three - Lady Gaga also had a near hit titled Dance In the Dark in 2010.

"Sail Away" is my favorite song by Randy Newman.  It is also an Enya song.

Quote from ethanhopkin14:

The title of the Enya Song you are referring to is "Orinoco Flow". It's one of those songs where the title isn't what you would think it is.

According to Wikipedia:
"Orinoco Flow" (Sail Away), a song by Enya

I went through this recently. I thought the last time I looked it up the title of the song actually way Sail Away. Oh well.

"Tunnel of Love", by the Dire Straits in 1980, and by Springsteen in 1987.

[OracleUsr]

"Tunnel of Love", by the Dire Straits in 1980, and by Springsteen in 1987.

I can't remember the artist, but the guy who sang "Magnet and Steel" had a b-side of the same 45 that was Tunnel of Love.

[ethanhopkin14]

"Tunnel of Love", by the Dire Straits in 1980, and by Springsteen in 1987.

Strangely, Roy Bitten of The E Street Band played on both Tunnels of Love.

[lepidopteran]

Our House by Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and by Madness.

[rawmustard]

"Photograph"
-Def Leppord
-Ringo Starr

Ewwwwwwwwwwwww, Nickelback

Add to that the Verve Pipe (off of Villains), Weezer (off of Weezer [Green Album]), and Ed Sheeran (off of x).

"Best Of My Love"

- The Eagles -- November 1974
- The Emotions -- June 1977

Even though they were completely different tunes, each "Best of My Love" song made it to #1 on the Billboard Pop Charts -- a feat that no other pair of different songs/same title has done (to my knowledge).

Two different songs called "Venus" have topped the Billboard pop chart: the first in 1959 by Frankie Avalon, and the other in 1970 by the Shocking Blue. For good measure, a remake of the Shocking Blue song by Bananarama also topped the chart.
