You better, you better, you better I do it nice, seven days a week Like oh my, oh my, oh my God I don't do nothing for free you know I got to charge When I'm done, they be like you better When that check come I be like I pull up, like what's up,

The thrill is gone The thrill is gone baby The thrill is gone away You know you done me wrong baby You'll be sorry someday The thrill is gone away for good The thrill gone away from me The thrill is gone away from me Although, I'll still live on

I don't wanna be alone for a day (I don't wanna be by myself) I rather be alone with you, babe (don't leave me by myself) I done did enough time in the cave (enough time in the cell) I don't wanna be away from you, babe (let's be by ourself) I don't

What are you trying to say? So I got you a present I went downtown to get it Doing anything tonight? Done for the day ‘Cuz we got a date

And I'm grindin' til I'm attacked They say "You ain't grindin' til you tired" So I'm grindin' with my eyes wide Looking to find, a way through the day A light, for the night Dear Lord, you've done took so many of my people but I'm just wonderin' why You

Take me all the way So I wait for you to Push me under Pull me further Now it seems I'm fading All my dreams are not worth saving I've done my share of waiting And I've still got nowhere left to go Seems you're wanting me to stay

Why wait another minute With a preacher who could hook us up right away Love don't need a reason Baby I don't see how I could love you anymore than I do today So why wait For somethin' we should'a done yesterday? I know a little church What'aya say girl,
