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

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 thefloor
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
And then the band slowed the tempo, and the music gets youdown
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

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, ah
But now it feels so strange out of 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

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

Mmmm, 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

They don't write 'em like that anymore
No, they just don't write 'em like that anymore
Oh, 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
