The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ’Em)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We had broken up for good just an hour before Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing 'cross the floor Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah And then the band slowed the tempo and the music took me down Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah It was the same old song, with a melancholy sound Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah [Chorus] They don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't write 'em like that anymore [Verse 2] We'd been living together for a million years Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah But now it feels so strange out in the atmospheres Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing so slow Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah [Chorus] They don't write 'em like that anymore They don't write 'em like that anymore Oh [Verse 3] Hey Now I wind up staring at an empty glass Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah 'Cause it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah [Chorus] 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 [Outro] They just don't, no, they don't No, no, uh-uh
