The Thrill Is Gone. (Live at Montreux Jazz Festival)

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 crying in 'em

Staying here when I should go

I'm scared if I leave now I'll never come back

So I sip slow

Say something nice to me, say

Say something 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

The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone

Hmm, the thrill is gone, thrill is gone, the thrill is over, yes

And I know it's so

'Cause I'm more alone when I'm on his shoulder

The thrill is gone, ain't it gone?

The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone

He's a Leo sun, a Leo moon, and a Leo rising

Said, something dies in his eyes when I find them

The thrill is gone

The thrill is

Ain't it so gone?

Ain't it so gone, yes, hmm

Oh, no, no, no

I can't sleep in the same bed as you

Something just doesn't feel right

When you fall asleep, I leave the room

As you're closing your eyes

I shut the door behind me quickly and I get in my car

Oh, but the second I leave you, I wish I was where you are

Say, won't you say

Won't you say

Something nice to me?

Won't you say, yeah

Won't you say

Won't you say

The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone

The thrill is gone

The thrill is over

And I know it's so

'Cause I'm more alone when I'm on his shoulder, yes, hmm

(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

Now 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

Hey!)

'Cause something dies in his eyes when I find them

The thrill is

Gone

The thrill is just

Oh, ain't it just

Ain't it just so, so, so, so, so

Do-do-do-do-do-do-done, yeah, yeah, yeah
