Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
No you done me wrong baby
You'll be sorry some day
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Oh although I'll still live on baby
But so lonely I'll be
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away for good
Oh the thrill is gone baby
Its gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be open arms baby
Just like I know I know I should
I'm free now baby
I'm free from your spell
Free free free free now baby
Baby I'm free from your spell
Now that its all over
All that I can do is wish you well
The thrill is gone
Gone away for good
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away for good
Oh you done me wrong baby
You'll be sorry some day
The thrill is gone
I'm free from your spell.
