Now the music of TOPGUN is perhaps its finest attribute (next to, of course, excellent acting, a solid script and impeccable haircuts). I have friend who has watched the film many times over for simply that reason. Now if you haven't heard the soundtrack, I really suggest that you go out and buy a copy immediately. Thinking about it, I mean really thinking about it hard, until it hurts, I cannot think of one track on the album that is not of the finest quality...
However, one song that is not included on the soundtrack is extremely important to the story. It is, of course, The Righteous Brothers' 'You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin''... Anyway, here are the lyrics, so you can sing along at home...
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips,
And there’s no tenderness like before in your fingerti-i-i-ips.
You’re trying hard not to show it,
BABY
But baby, baby I know it…
Chorus:
You’ve lost that lovin’ feelin’,Whoa oh that lovin’ feelin’.
You’ve lost that lovin’ feelin’ now it’s gone, gone, gone, whoa oh oh oh oh
Now there’s no welcome love in your eyes when I reach for you-ou-ou-ou,
And now you’re starting to criticise little things I do-o-o-o.
It makes me just feel like crying,
BABY
‘Cause baby, something you [insert mumbling here]…
(Repeat chorus)
Baby, baby… I’d get down on my knees for you-ou-ou-ou,We had a love, a love, a love you don’t find everyday-ay-ay-ay,
So don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t let it slip away-ay-ay-ay.
BABY
BABY
BABY
BABY
I’m begging you plea-ea-ease
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
I need your lo-o-ove
NEED YOUR LOVE
I Need your love
I NEED YOUR LOVE!
So bring it on back
SO BRING IT ON BACK
So bring it on back
SO BRING IT ON BACK!!!!
Bring back that lovin’ feeling,
Whoa oh that lovin’ fee-eelin’
Bring back that LOVIN’ FEELIN’ ‘cause it’s gone, gone, gone…
And I can’t go on…
Whoa-o-o-oh-oh
(Repeat to fade)
