"Woke up this morning"
"My little girl/woman/lady/wife/fella/man/boy/baby/dog/horse left me/lay down and died/went off with another little girl/woman/lady/wife/fella/man/boy/baby/dog/horse" (delete as appropriate)
etc.

And the classic all-purpose lines:-

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"
"woah-woah-woah"
"oh baby"
"doowop, doowop, doowop"

Incidentally, on a pop note, anyone ever cross-compare Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet" and Bryan Adams' "I will love you"? Very dodgy...
