The Breakup Song Songtext
von Greg Kihn Band

And we had broken up for good just an hour before
(Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
Now I′m staring at the bodies as they're dancin′ 'cross the floor
(Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
And then the band slowed the tempo and the music gets you down
(Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
It was the same old song with a melancholy sound
(Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)

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
(Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
But now it feels so strange out in the atmospheres
(Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know
(Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
And now I'm staring at the bodies as they′re dancin' so slow
(Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)

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

Now I wind up staring at an empty glass
(Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
′Cause it's so easy to say that you′ll forget your past
(Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)

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
