Lyrics for singles by Greg Kihn Band

Breakup Song

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, the music takes me 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 of 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
Oh, 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

Jeopardy

Where were you when I needed you
Well you could not be found
What can I do, oh I believed in you
You're running me around
Well you can take it as a warning
Or take it anyway you like
It's the lightning, not the thunder
You never know where it's gonna strike

Our love's in jeopardy, baby, ooh
Our love's in jeopardy, baby, ooh

Don't be cute, don't be funny now
It's later than you think
Oh what's the use, save your money now
It's hanging on the brink
Don't let go while I'm hanging on
'Cause I've been hanging on so long
It's so hard to be all alone
I know you're not that strong, yeah, yeah

Our love's in jeopardy, baby, ooh
Our love's in jeopardy, baby, ooh

[instrumental]

Don't let go while I'm hanging on
'Cause I've been hanging on so long
It's so hard to be all alone
I know you're not that strong, yeah, yeah
