Greg Kihn Band – The Break Up Song Lyrics

We had broken up for good just an hour before
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
Now I’m staring at the bodies as they’re dancin’ ‘cross the floor
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
And then the band slowed the tempo and the music gets you down
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
It was the same old song with a melancholy sound
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah

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, aaah
But now it feels so strange out in the atmospheres
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
And now I’m staring at the bodies as they’re dancin’ so slow
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah

They don’t write ’em like that anymore
They don’t write ’em like that anymore

(…)

Hmm, now I wind up staring at an empty glass
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
‘Cause it’s so easy to say that you’ll forget your past
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah

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 dont!
No, no!
Uh uh!
They just don’t write ’em like that anymore
They just don’t!
