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
