The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away The thrill is gone baby The thrill is gone away You know you done me wrong baby And you'll be sorry someday The thrill is gone It's gone away from me The thrill is gone baby The thrill is gone away from me Although, I'll still live on But so lonely I'll be The thrill is gone It's gone away for good The thrill is gone baby It's gone away for good Someday I know I'll be open armed baby Just like I know a good man should You know I'm free, free now baby I'm free from your spell Oh I'm free, free, free now I'm free from your spell And now that it's all over All I can do is wish you well |

Once upon a time, a long long time ago, wherever you'd lead me, I would surely follow
Girl, you put me through some pain and misery And now you are standing on my doorstep, telling me how much you need me Baby, ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home) Ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home) How many times I begged for you to come home, but you laughed at me and said let me alone Through my falling tears I saw you walk away And now you're beggin' me to forgive you, but this time, baby, it's your turn to beg Baby, ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home) Ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home) Girl, I used to love you, placed no one else above you Gave you everything that I own Girl, you can't come back here Ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home) Once upon a time, when you went on your way But, girl, I hoped and prayed, that you'd come back some day But time has made some changes, turned me upside down So, you can beg me to forgive you, but this time, baby, you can turn right around Ain't nobody home Ain't nobody home Girl, you hurt me once (Chorus: ain't nobody home) I hear you knockin' (Chorus: ain't nobody home) |

My song is a serious matter It reflects what i feel If i say i love you, i mean it 'cause in my song Every line is for real Every man or woman Enjoys going home To a peaceful situation To give love and receive love Without any complications Whether my tune is short or long Whether my s are weak or strong I like to live the love That i sing about in my song I like to live the love That i sing about in my song Music is love And my love is music In perfect harmony So when i sing I have sung all about The love of you and me I never got angry with my guitar 'cause when i strike a chord It gives me what i wanna hear So i'm finding out that We are quite like my song together, my dear Outside answers Should always be forbidden Problems should be solved And never hidden I like to live the love That i sing about in my song I like to live the love That i sing about in my song I like to live the love That i sing about in my song I like to live the love That i sing about in my song I like to live the love That i sing about in my song |

I've said all of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold Hey, I've got a new story to tell you this evening, baby One that ain't never been told I went to work the other day But I thought that I would double back And that car I saw sitting in front of my door Looked like a brand new, a brand new Cadillac, yeah! I ain't got none now baby I think you've been cheating on me I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help That I don't think I really need The iceman came by this morning And you know he didn't leave no ice The postman came by later baby And he didn't even ring twice I think you've been cheating on me I think you're running out on me I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help That I don't think I really need Now, I want you to tell the iceman The next time he'd better leave some ice And I want you to tell the postman He'd better ring more than twice And when I come home from work in the morning Better still be some groceries on the shelf I want to tell that slick insurance man That he'd better write some insurance on his self Yes, I think you've been cheating on me I think you're running out on me I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some help, some help Some help, I don't really need |

Caught in quicksand Starting to sink So tired of struggling That my mind can barely think Don't know where I'm going Lord, I don't know what I'm gonna doFuel supply is finished Ain't nothing left to burn I need someone to help me But I don't know which way to turn I know I don't have much of a choice I'll go out of my mind Or into the nightRolling and tumbling Spinning end over end Got to have some peace and quiet So I can find myself again Ask me what's the matter Hey, I don't know what to sayPeople all around me But I'm so alone I guess they'd like to help me But I have to do it on my own I know I don't have much of a choice I'll go out of my mind Or into the night |
