You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
David Hasselhoff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You never close your eyes
Anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness
Like before in your fingertips

You're tryin' hard not to show it
(Baby)
But, baby, baby, I know it

You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Oh that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh

Now there's no welcome look
In your eyes when I reach for you
And girl, you're starting to
Criticize little things I do

It makes just feel like cryin', baby
'Cause baby something beautiful is dying

You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Oh, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin
Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh

Baby, baby, I'd get down
On my knees for you
If you would only love me
Like you used to do

We had a love, a love
A love you don't find everyday, oh no
(Oh no)
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away, oh

Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Oh that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, oh

Baby, bring back that lovin' feelin'
Oh that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone

Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Oh that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'




Now it's gone, gone, gone
Bring back
