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 thefloor Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah And then the band slowed the tempo, and the music gets youdown 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 Mmmm, now? I wind 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
