The Thrill Is Gone (Live At The Royal Albert Hall)
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
Now 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
And I'm 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, uh
(Say somethin' nice to me), uh
I nod and I agree
You get so mad if I disagree
So he invited me
To sit here silently
No, he can't stand the sight of me
He used to get excited but now
Uh, the thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone, huh
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, the thrill is over
I know it's so, 'cause I'm more alone when I'm on his shoulder, yes
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone, yeah
He's a leo Sun, a leo Moon, and a leo risin'
Somethin' dies in his eyes when I find them
The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone, is so gone, yes
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 then, I get in my car
But then the second I leave you, I wish I was where you are
(Say) say
(Something) oh, won't you say somethin' nice to me?
(Nice) oh, won't you say somethin' nice to me?
Won't you say, oh, won't you say, won't you say, oh
Uh, the thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone
The thrill is gone, the thrill is over
I know it's so, 'cause I'm more alone when I'm on his shoulder
Ladies and gentlemen, can I invite you to put your hands together?
Gotta get on the road now, hey
Gotta shake a little dust off, hey
Gotta get up (walk away)
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 (gone, it's gone away)
Uh (the thrill is gone) thrill is gone (thrill is gone, huh)
The thrill is gone, gone, gone, the thrill is over
And I know it's so, 'cause I'm more alone when I'm on his shoulder
I wrapped up a little breakdown
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Ladies and gentlemen, the brass section
Du-du-du-du-du-du-dun
Somethin' dies when I find him
I think that thrill, that thrill is just done
Oh, ain't it just done, I think it's just gone, yeah
