Same dancers in the same old shoes    some habits that you just can't lose   It's no telling what a girl 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 oh after the thrill is gone   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 held him so tight in your arms well   Time passes and you must move on   half the distance takes you twice as long   So you keep on singin' for the sake of a song    after the thrill is gone   You're afraid you might fall out of fashion    and you're feeling cold and small   Any kinda love without passion ain't no kinda lovin' at all   Same dancers in the same old shoes   you get too careful with the steps you choose   You don't care about winnin' but you don't wanna lose   After the thrill is gone    after the thrill is gone
