About The Song
The Righteous Brothers You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’, released in 1964, is a song co-written by Phil Spector, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil and recorded by the American vocal duo the Righteous Brothers. The song was their first hit, reaching number one in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Germany, Austria, Scotland, Netherlands, and Belgium, among others.
“You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin'” is considered by some to be the perfect example of Spector’s Wall of Sound recording technique. The song has a simple melody and upbeat rhythm, but its iconic chorus and tearful lyrics have resonated with listeners for decades. The Righteous Brothers performed a version of “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin'” on the television series Dick Clark’s Hits of the Sixties in 1965.
Lyrics
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, (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...woah
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...woah
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
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'
'Cause it's gone...gone...
