Same dances and the same old tunes
Some habits that you just can't lose
There's no telling what a man might use
After the thrill is gone
Flame rises but it soon descends
Empty pages and a frozen day
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 it so tight in your hands
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
Or any kind of love at all
Same dancers and the same old tunes
You get to care for the steps you choose
You don't care about winning but you don't wanna lose
After the thrill is gone
After the thrill is gone
After the thrill is gone
Boy
After the thrill is gone gone
