You've Lost That Loving Feeling
Westlife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anymore 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 loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling, now it's gone, gone, gone
Whoa-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 me just feel like crying (baby)
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dying
You've lost that loving feeling
Oh, that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling, now it's gone, gone, gone
Whoa-oh
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 every day
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away
Baby (baby) baby (baby) I beg you please (please) please (please)
I need your love (I need your love) I need your love (I need your love)
So bring all back (bring it all back) bring all back (bring it all back)
Bring back that loving feeling
Oh, that loving feeling
Bring back that loving feeling, 'cause it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on
Whoa-oh
The lyrics of Westlife's song You've Lost That Loving Feeling convey a message of a relationship that has lost its spark. The first two lines suggest that the person doesn't close their eyes anymore when they are kissed. The tenderness once felt by the couple is also gone, and there is no longer any feeling in the person's fingertips. The person is trying hard to hide the fact that they don't love the other person as much anymore. However, they cannot hide it from their partner, who knows the truth.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" three times, emphasizing the idea that the love between the two persons is gone. In the second verse, the other person's eyes no longer show any welcome when they reach out to them. The person in the song feels like crying because what was once beautiful is dying. The bridge of the song has the person begging the other person to bring back the love they once had. It says that they would get down on their knees for the other person if they loved them like they used to. The song ends with an emotive plea for the other person to bring back the loving feeling as they cannot go on without it.
