The Break-up Song (they Don't Write 'em) Lyrics - Singles - Greg Kihn Band

We had broken up for good 

Just an hour before 

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah 

And now I'm staring at the bodies 

As they're dancing 'cross the floor 

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah 

And then the band slowed the tempo 

And the music gets you down 

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah 

It was the same old song 

With a melancholy sound 

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah 

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, aah 

But now it feels so strange out of the atmospheres 

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah 

And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know 

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah 

And now I'm staring at the bodies 

As they're dancing so slow 

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah 

They don't write 'em like that anymore 

They don't write 'em like that anymore 

Mm, now I wind up staring at an empty glass 

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah 

'cause it's so easy to say 

That she'll forget your past 

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah
