You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling

Hall And Oates · The Essential Daryl Hall & John Oates [2005]

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips

And there's no tenderness like before in your finger tips

You're trying hard not to show it (baby)

But baby, baby I know it

You've lost that lovin' feeling

Woah that lovin' feeling

You've lost that lovin' feeling

Now it's gone gone gone woah oh oh



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

And girl you're starting to criticize little things I do

Ooh, it makes me just feel like crying (baby)

'Cause baby something beautiful's dying

You've lost that lovin' feeling

Woah that lovin' feeling

You've lost that lovin' feeling

Not it's gone gone gone woah oh oh



Baby baby I get down on my knees for you

(Get down on my knees)

If you would only love me like you used to

(If you would only love me love me)

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

(A love you don't find)

So don't don't don't let it slip away (away)

I said baby

Baby

Baby

Baby

(I'm beggin you please) I'm begging you please

I need your love (I need your love)

I need your love

So bring it on back (bring it on back)

Now bring it on back

Now bring it on back



You've got to bring back that lovin' feeling

Woah that lovin' feeling

Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone

And I can't go on woah oh oh



Bring back that lovin' feeling

Woah that lovin' feeling

Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone

Bring back that lovin' feeling

Woah that lovin' feeling

Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone

Bring back that lovin' feeling

Woah that lovin' feeling

Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone
