The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'em) Songtext
von Greg Kihn Band

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 there's dancin′ 'cross the floor
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
And then the band slowed the tempo and the music gets me down
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
It was the same old song with the 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 feel 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
Now I'm staring at the bodies as they dancin′ so slow

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

Now I wind up staring at an empty glass
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
Cause its 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
