The 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 ah

And now I'm starin' at the bodies as they're dancin' cross the floor

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

And then the band slowed the tempo when the music gets ya 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

They don't write 'em like that anymore

They just don't write 'em like that anymore

We been livin' 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 that I used to know

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

And now I'm starin' at the bodies as they're dancin' so slow

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

Oh no

And now I wind up starin' at an empty glass

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Cuz 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

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, oh, woah ah-oh

They just don't write 'em like that anymore

They just don't, no, they don't

No, oh, woah ah-oh

They just don't write 'em like that anymore

Oh no

Oh no

Oh oh no

Oooh no
