Songtexte The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em) - The Greg Kihn band

We had broken up for good just an hour before
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing '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 of 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 dancing 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'm winding 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, no, they don't...
