S ame dances in the same old shoes
S ome habits that you just can't lose
There's no telling what a man might lose,
After the thrill is go ne
T he flame rises but it soon descends
E mpty pages and a frozen pen
You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends
After the thrill is gone, oh,
After the thrill is go ne
What can you do when your dreams come true
And it's not quite like you planned?
What have you done to be losing the one
You hel d it so tight in your hand well
T ime passes and you must move on,
H alf the distance takes you twice as long
So you keep on singing for the sake of the song
After the thrill is go ne
You're afraid you might fall out of fashion
And you're feeling cold and small
Any kind of love without passion
That ain't no kind of lovin' at all, well
S ame dances in the same old shoes
Y ou 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, oh
Af ter the thrill is gone
