Same dances
in the same
old shoes
Some habits
that you just
can't lose
There's no telling
what a man
might use
After the thrill
is gone
The flame rises
but it soon descends
Empty pages and
a frozen pen
You're not quite lovers
and you're not
quite friends
After the thrill
is gone boy
After the thrill
is gone
What can you do
when your dreams
come true
and it's not quite
like you planned?
Oh what have you done
to be losing the one
you held so tight
in your hand well
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
You're afraid you might
fall out of fashion
and you're feeling
cold and small
Oh any kind of love
without passion
oh it ain't no kind
of lovin' at all...
Same dances
in the same
old shoes
You get too careful
with the steps
you choose
You don't care
about winning but
you don't want to lose
After the thrill
is gone
After the thrill
is gone
After the thrill
is gone boy
After the thrill
is gone.....
