You lost that lovin’ feelin’Whoa, that lovin’ feelin’You lost that lovin’ feelin’Now it’s gone, gone, gone, whoa-oh
Baby, baby, I’d get down on my knees for youIf you would only love me like you used to do, yeahWe had a love, a love, a love you don’t find everydaySo don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t let it slip away
Baby, baby, baby, babyI beg you please, please, please, pleaseI need your love, need your loveI need your love, I need your loveSo bring it on back, so bring it on backBring it on back, bring it on back
