The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em) - 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 they're dancing 'cross the floor
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
And then the band slowed the tempo when the music took you 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

CHORUS:
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They don't write 'em like that anymore

We 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 dancing so slow
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

CHORUS

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

CHORUS
