1st VERSE:

We had broken up for good just an hour before

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

Now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing 'cross the floor

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

And then the band slowed the tempo when the music took you down

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

It was the same old song with the melancholy sound

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

CHORUS-1 :

They don't write 'em like that anymore

They just don't write 'em like that anymore

2nd VERSE:

We been living together for a million years

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

But now it feels so strange out in the atmospheres

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing so slow

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

CHORUS-2:

They don't write 'em like that anymore

They don't write 'em like that anymore

(Repeat Intro)

3rd VERSE:

Now I wind up staring at an empty glass

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

Cause it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

(Repeat Chorus-1 3x and fade)
