The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em) [Alternate Version]
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
