The thrill is gone
Fantasia · Back To Me [2010]
I know Im not your girl, I know your not my man
But somethings wrong, I can't explain
After the waste of time, love lets keep it plain (Don't wanna play)
Cause boy I'm grown and ya, damn near twice my age
So tell me what's happening
So let me know just why i'm feeling strange
Just let me know boy if your feelings changed
Because I feel the way I feel, And I wont let it go until
You let me know cause it ain't feeling the same
Chorus
It's gone-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Along with games the cars the lies, the thrill is gone
So gone-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
though it was fun but now we're done the thrill is done
Was is it just the chase, You acting like you need some space
Perhaps it was the fact, you want what you can't have
And I won't let you get your way
Why do you pick me up just to cast me away (the love I gave)
Never quite enough, you really got me stuck
I need for you to set it straight.
But let me know just why i'm feeling strange
Just let me know boy if your feelings changed
Because I feel the way I feel, And I wont let go it until
You let me know cause it ain't feeling the same
Chorus
It's gone-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Along with games the cars the lies, the thrill is gone
So gone-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
though it was fun but now we're done the thrill is done
Cee-Lo (Rap)
A cocktail keeps me company
While the piano man plays one for me
Some similar situation must've sent you
Cause this is too cool to be coincidental
And Oh yes let's not forget
You look like been dipped in hot chocolate
And i means lots of it
So instead of stay we did the opposite
At a red light but I didn't stop for Sh*t!
It's cool, I don't kiss and tell
Oh lord, you don't listen well
It's pleasure...Pains not in my planning
Damn I thought we had a understanfing
Chorus
It's gone-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Along with games the cars the lies, the thrill is gone
So gone-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
though it was fun but now we're done the thrill is done
The thrill is gone
