Lyrics

[00:13.80] We had broken up for good just an hour before,
[00:16.61] Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
[00:20.31] And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing 'cross the floor.
[00:23.72] Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
[00:26.83] And then the band slowed the tempo, and the music gets you down.
[00:30.14] Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
[00:33.90] It was the same old song, with a melancholy sound.
[00:37.20] Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
[00:41.77] They don't write 'em like that anymore.
[00:48.69] They just don't write 'em like that anymore.
[00:54.67] We'd been living together for a million years,
[00:57.61] Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
[01:01.08] But now it feels so strange out of the atmospheres.
[01:04.38] Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
[01:07.89] And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know.
[01:11.05] Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
[01:14.46] And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing so slow.
[01:17.52] Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
[01:22.47] They don't write 'em like that anymore.
[01:29.38] They don't write 'em like that anymore.
[01:47.96] Mmmm, now ?
[01:51.83] Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
[01:55.09] Cause it's so easy to say that she'll forget your past.
[01:58.30] Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
[02:03.12] They don't write 'em like that anymore.
[02:09.14] No, they just don't write 'em like that anymore.
[02:16.58] Oh, they don't write 'em like that anymore.
[02:22.60] They just don't write 'em like that anymore.
[02:30.17] They just don't, no they don't, no no, uh-uh,
[02:38.00] They just don't write 'em like that anymore.
[02:43.88] They just don't...(fades)
