You've Lost That Loving Feeling
Righteous Brothers (The) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You never close your eyes any more when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it (baby)
But baby, baby, I know it

You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're starting to criticize the things I do
It makes me just feel like crying (baby)
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dying

You lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa

Baby, baby, I 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

Baby (baby), baby (baby)
I beg of you please (please) please
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
Well, bring it on back (so bring it on back)
Bring it on back (so bring it on back)

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, woah

Bring back that lovin' feelin'




Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin'

You never close your eyes any more when I kiss your lips
You don't seem to be as passionate when we kiss like you used to


And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
Your touch doesn't feel as gentle and loving as it used to


You're trying hard not to show it (baby)
You're trying to hide your true feelings, but it's obvious to me


But baby, baby, I know it
I know that you've lost that loving feeling and it's hurting me


Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you

We had a love, a love, a love you don't find everyday

That feeling of love and connection that we used to share

The song is masterpiece and never gets old. My very first Righteous Brothers song my sister played it on cassette a few years back. Hands up if you're listening to this song in 2024!

Cynthia Weil, who co-wrote the song with her husband, Barry Mann, has passed. What a great song.

The Righteous Brothers bring back memories of my husband AL LaFore the only man I ever loved. I miss him so much and these songs bring him back to me in memories never to be forgotten.
