    What a great song from the early 1980's. If you weren't around back then, you really missed out. The music was absolutely amazing. It was a party 24/7. I really miss that time period. I'm sure I'm not the only one. This song was a staple at every house party you went to. It was everywhere.

    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
