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
