| The Breakup Song
|
| The Greg Kihn Band
|
| We had broken up for good just an hour before,
|
| Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
|
| And now I’m staring at the bodies as they’re dancing 'cross the floor.
|
| Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
|
| And then the band slowed the tempo, and the music gets you down.
|
| Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
|
| It was the same old song, with a melancholy sound.
|
| Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
|
| 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 ah.
|
| But now it feels so strange out of the atmospheres.
|
| Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
|
| And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know.
|
| Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
|
| And now I’m staring at the bodies as they’re dancing so slow.
|
| Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
|
| They don’t write 'em like that anymore.
|
| They don’t write 'em like that anymore.
|
| Now I’m winding up staring at an empty glass
|
| Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
|
| Cause it’s so easy to say that you’ll forget your past.
|
| Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
|
| They don’t write 'em like that anymore.
|
| No, they just don’t write 'em like that anymore.
|
| Oh, 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…(fades) |
