After The Thrill Is Gone

Same dances in the same old shoes

Some habits that you just can't lose

There's no telling what a woman might use

After the thrill is gone

Flame rises but it soon descends

Empty pages and a frozen pen

You're not quite lovers and you can't be friends again

After the thrill is gone, oh,

After the thrill is gone

What can you do when your dreams come true

And they're not quite like you planned?

What have you done to be losing the one

You held him so tight in your hand

Time passes and you must move on

Half the distance takes you twice as long

So you keep on singing for the sake of the song

After the thrill is gone

After the thrill is gone

You're afraid you might fall out of fashion

And you're feeling cold and small

Any kind of love without passion

Ain't no kind of lovin' at all

Time passes and you must move on

Half the distance takes you twice as long

And yet you keep on singing just for the sake of a song

After the thrill is gone

After the thrill is gone

Same dances in the same old shoes

You get too careful 'bout steps you choose

You don't care about winning but you sure don't wanna lose

After the thrill is gone

After the thrill is gone

After the thrill is gone, oh no

After the thrill is gone…
