Does a song's copyright include the title?

"Asking for a friend..." (a brother, actually)... who saw/heard Lady Gaga's "Rain On Me". (I don't listen to her stuff, so I have no reference.)
I wrote a song by that title way back in June 1994; but didn't get around to registering the music/lyrics until 2013.
The registration document has it as October 17, 2013.

My reply was - "...you cannot copyright a title." Was that a correct answer?
Just posting this to confirm, for my report back to him.

Thanks.

PS - it was a funny coincidence he asked about THAT song - cause it's at the top of my list of songs to get the full-Nashville Country treatment - SOON.
Stay tuned for BREAKING NEWS.

It has been a while since I looked, but I don't think titles or concepts can be copy written. The number of songs called "Forever" or "Summertime" seem to back that up.

Tons of songs with the same title

Yep. That's what I told him... i.e. Willie Nelson & Cee Lo are both "Crazy".
