We had broken up for good
Just an hour before
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
And now I`m staring at the bodies
As they`re dancing `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 of 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 dancing 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

[Instrumental Interlude]

Mmmm, now I wind up staring at an empty glass
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah
`Cos it`s so easy to say
That she`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 don`t, no no, uh-uh
They just don`t write `em like that anymore
They just don`t
