The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ’Em Like That Any More) by The Greg Kihn Band, 1981
LYRICS:
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 in 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 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 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, no they don't
Maybe not necessarily a break-up song but I've always liked it. Maybe if fits your question a bit, too.
I remember hearing this song for the first time and I was blown away with how much I liked it. I first heard the One Republic-Timbaland remix version and I like it a lot - - but this video is the original version with just One Republic, and I really like it, too. :)
"Apologize" One Republic
