What a Thrill

I dreamt last night that he held me tight
In a bar we knew way back when -
Drinkin' sloe gin
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin
Oh then the band played "Goodnight, Sweetheart"
One more dance and we were ready to go.
From the spark heel boppin'
To the light of a steamed window.
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin.
For a heart throb,
Too long gone to cry again
With them smoke-filled runaway kisses
Some so young
Chances are a million to one
You got me startin' to believe
That the thrill ain't never gone.
Then I woke up in the dark to a different sound
That was coming from my radio
They were playin' somethin' else
'sides "Go, Johnny, Go Go Go"
So I turned to my sweetie, said "Roll over, Honey
'Cause your mama's gonna show you some fun."
I said "Roll over, Honey, cause
The thrill ain't never gone."
Oh, what a thrill
Oh, what a sin.
For a heart throb,
Too long gone to cry again
Those smoke-filled runaway kisses
Some so young
Chances are a million to one
You got me startin' to believe
That the thrill is never gone.
