GREG KIHN BAND lyrics - Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)

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
