You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'
Elvis Presley ( with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anymore when I kiss your lips
There's no tenderness
Like before in you fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it,
But baby, baby I know it
You've lost that lovin' feelin', oh that lovin' feelin'
There's no tenderness in your eyes
When I reach out for you
Girl, you're starting to criticize
Every little thing I do
It makes me just feel like crying
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dying
You've lost that lovin' feelin', oh that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin', now it's gone, gone, gone
Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, love, love, love affair every day
Oh don't, don't, don't, don't take it away
Listen to me, talkin' to you
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
The lyrics of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" by Elvis Presley with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is a mournful song about a dying relationship. It is a reflection of one person's realization that their partner has lost the love they once shared. The singer reveals to their partner that they have lost that special loving feeling and that there is no longer any tenderness in their relationship. The singer is hopeful that their partner will take notice of their emotional struggle and bring back that feeling they once shared.
The song is filled with powerful emotions, highlighted by the use of a philharmonic orchestra that adds a dramatic touch to the melody. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the impact of a lost relationship, and the almost begging tone in the final verses seeks the assurance of love from the partner to renew the relationship.
The lyrics convey a melancholic idea of an ending relationship and the longing for affection. The singer's sentiment of being on their knees for their partner is a call to action to strengthen their relationship, as they do not want to lose the love they once had. The song is a beautiful portrayal of the pain of love lost and the yearning to rekindle it.
