  1. 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
    Oh, the thrill is gone baby
    Baby its gone away for good
    Someday I know I'll be over it all baby
    Just like I know a man should

    You know I'm free, free now baby
    I'm free from your spell
    I'm free, free now
    I'm free from your spell
    And now that it's over
    All I can do is wish you well

  2. I hear these women raving 'bout their monkey men
    About their trifling1 husbands and their no good friends
    These poor women sit around all day and moan
    Wondering why their wandering papa's don't come home
    But wild women don't worry, wild women don't have no blues

    Now when you've got a man, don't never be on the square
    'Cause if you do he'll have a woman everywhere
    I never was known to treat no one man right
    I keep 'em working hard both day and night
    'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have their blues

    I've got a disposition and a way of my own
    When my man starts kicking I let him find another home
    I get full of good liquor, walk the streets all night
    Go home and put my man out if he don't act right
    Wild women don't worry, wild women don't have their blues

    You never get nothing by being an angel child
    You better change your ways and get real wild
    I wanna tell you something, I wouldn't tell you a lie
    Wild women are the only kind that really get by
    'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have their blues
