You've Lost That Loving Feeling
Elvis Presley with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss you're lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your finger tips
You've trying hard not to show it
Baby, baby I know it

You've lost that loving feeling
Woohoo that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone woohoo
Yeah

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And you're starting to criticize little things I do
It makes just feel like crying
Baby 'cause baby something beautiful is dying

You've lost that loving feeling
Woohoo that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone wohohohoho

Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you
This suit wasn't too tight
If you would only would love me like you used to do
Yeah
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't let it slip away
Listen to me, talking to me

Bring back that loving feeling
Woho That loving feeling
Bring back that loving feeling
'Cause it's gone, gone, gone




And I can't go one wohohohoho
Wohohohohoho wohohohoho

Overall Meaning

"You've Lost That Loving Feeling" is a song that was originally recorded by The Righteous Brothers in 1964. Elvis Presley later covered the song in 1970 in his album "That's The Way It Is". The song is a poignant lamentation about a love that has faded. The first verse speaks of small things such as the lover not closing her eyes while kissing or losing her gentle touch. The singer of the song struggles to come to terms with the fact that his lover no longer feels for him like she used to. In the chorus, he exclaims that the loving feeling is lost and gone forever. The second verse is an acknowledgment of the deterioration of the relationship, with his lover critiquing him for his actions, which only serves to make him realize that something beautiful is dying. The final verse is a plea for his lover to bring back the loving feeling, demonstrating how much he values their relationship and the passion they once shared.

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss you're lips
You don't feel the same spark or passion when we kiss like you used to, and you don't fully savor the moment the way you once did.

Your touch has lost its softness and warmth, and this physical distance makes us feel disconnected.

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it
But baby, baby I know it
You lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa-oh
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're starting to criticize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dyin'
You lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa-oh
Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
'Cause it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, whoa-oh
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'
'Cause it's gone, gone, gone
