"You've Lost That
Lovin' Feelin'" is a song written by Phil Spector, Barry Mann, and Cynthia
Weil. It was first recorded by the Righteous Brothers in 1964, and was produced
by Phil Spector. Their recording is considered by some music critics to be the
ultimate expression and illustration of Spector's "Wall of Sound"
recording technique. It has also been described by various music writers as
"one of the best records ever made" and "the ultimate pop
record".
The original Righteous
Brothers version was a critical and commercial success on its release, becoming
a number-one hit single in both the United States and the United Kingdom in
February 1965. It
was the fifth best selling song of 1965 in the US. It also
entered the Top 10 in the UK chart on an unprecedented three separate
occasions.
"You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" has been
covered successfully by numerous artists. A 1965
hit cover by Cilla Black reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart. Dionne
Warwick took her version to number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1969. A
1971 duet version by singers Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway peaked at number
30 on the Billboard R&B singles chart. Long John Baldry charted at number 2
in Australia with his 1979 remake and a 1980 version by Hall and Oates reached
number 12 on the US Hot 100.
In December 1999, the performing-rights organization
Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) ranked the song as the
most-played song on American radio and television in the 20th century, having
accumulated more than 8 million airplays by 1999, and nearly 15 million by
2011. Additionally, the song was chosen as one of the Songs of the Century by RIAA
and ranked No. 34 on the list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time by Rolling
Stone. In 2015, the single was inducted into the National Recording Registry by
the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or
aesthetically significant".
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...wooooooh.
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 dyin'.
You lost that lovin' feelin',
Whoa, that lovin' feelin',
You've lost that lovin' feelin',
Now it's gone...gone...gone...woooooah
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 every day.
So don't...don't...don't...don't let it slip away.
Baby (baby), baby (baby),
I beg of you please (please), please (please)
I need your love (I need your love), I need your love (I need your
love),
So 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,
Woh-oh-oh-oh
Bring back that lovin' feelin',
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin',
'Cause it's gone...gone...
