You can use a custom FormBuilder to allow the label helper to accept a block. It's as simple as this:

class SmartLabelFormBuilder < ActionView::Helpers::FormBuilder
  def label(method, content_or_options_with_block = nil, options = {}, &block)
    if !block_given?
      super(method, content_or_options_with_block, options)
    else
      options = content_or_options_with_block.is_a?(Hash) ? content_or_options_with_block.stringify_keys : {}

      @template.content_tag(:label, options, &block)
    end
  end
end

Then you can use your form builder like this:

<% form_for(@article, :builder => SmartLabelFormBuilder) do |form| %>
  <% form.label(:title) do %>
    Title
    <%= form.text_field(:title) %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>
