"Let's Call the Whole Thing Off"

Breaking Up Is Hard to Do
After hearing the light, upbeat tune of this song written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield and performed by The Carpenters, you might think that breaking up is not so hard after all. Try your hand at writing your own song lyrics about breaking up, from the point of view of a bride or groom who was "jilted at the altar." Add a description of the type of music you would like to accompany the lyrics.
