Tanya Tucker

Songwriter: Glenn Frey Don Henley

Producer: Jerry Crutchfield

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 take 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
Yeah, after the thrill is gone
