Card games and heart games, I said, "Let's play"
I should know better
My boy ain't my boy, but I call him that
'Cause it feels better
Court case last Monday
But he buss trial so I feel better
Painkillers and codeine
I got stomach cramps under my sweater
Dark words from his dark mind
And there's dark stains under my eyes
I'm scared when I look at him
And I don't know why I'm surprised
Silk sheets and I'm cryin' in 'em
Stayin' here when I should go
I'm scared if I leave now
I'll never come back so I sip slow, huh
Say somethin' nice to me
Say somethin' nice to me
I nod and I agree
You get so mad if I disagree
So he invited me
To sit here silently
Now he can't stand the sight of me
He used to get excited but now
Uh, the thrill is gone, the thrill is gone, the thrill is gone
Hm, the thrill is gone, thrill is gone, the thrill is over, yes
I know it's so, 'cause I'm more alone when I'm on his shoulder
The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone
He's a Leo sun, a Leo moon, and a Leo risin'
Said somethin' dies in his eyes when I find them
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone
Is so gone
It is so gone, yes, hm
Oh, nah-nah, no
I can't sleep in the same bed as you
Somethin' just doesn't feel right
When you fall asleep
I leave the room as you're closin' your eyes
I shut the door behind me quickly
And I get in my car
But the the second I leave you
I wish I was by your side
Won't you say?
Won't you say somethin' nice to me?
Oh, won't you say, yeah, won't you say
Won't you say that the thrill is, da-da-da-da-da-da-
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone
The thrill is gone, da-da, now the thrill is over
And I know it's so, 'cause I'm more alone when I'm on his shoulder, yes
Can I ask you, to everybody please, to put your hands together
Ladies and gentlemen (hey), and the back too
Gotta get on
Get on the plane now, say
I'll leave him in the past, I pray
I know it's done, it's sad to say
But the thrill is, do-do-do-do-do-
Somethin', I need
The thrill is just, ain't it just
I think it's just so gone, oh, oh
Ladies and gentlemen, I need you to make some noise
And would you please put your hands together for the brass section?
Ooh, yeah
Said somethin' dies in his eyes when I find them
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh
Before we wrap up this song, I just have to let everyone know
Okay, I'm super dramatic, okay, I'm completely dramatic
I'm a complete drama queen
And that does mean that we're going to be giving you
A lot of dramatic endings tonight, and I hope that's okay
Okay, good, it sounds like it's okay
The thrill is just
Oh, ain't it just
You can hear a pin drop here, bloody hell, it's so quiet
Ain't it just so, so, so, so
So, do-do-da-do-do-da-do-da
Yeah, yeah, yeah
