Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em) Lyrics

We had broken up for good
Just an hour before
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
And now I'm staring at the bodies
As they're dancing 'cross the floor
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
And then the band slowed the tempo
And the music gets you down
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
It was the same old song
With a melancholy sound
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah

They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore

We'd been living together for a million years
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
But now it feels so strange out of the atmospheres
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
And now I'm staring at the bodies
As they're dancing so slow
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They don't write 'em like that anymore

[Instrumental Interlude]
Mmmm, now I wind up staring at an empty glass
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
'Cos it's so easy to say
That she'll forget your past
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah

They don't write 'em like that anymore
No, they just don't write 'em like that anymore
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't, no, they don't, no no, uh-uh
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't
