Body and Soul
A Soulful Plea: Longing, Surrender, and the Echoes of Love
Lyrics
My days have grown so lonely
Feeling increasingly isolated and without companionship.
For you I cry, for you dear only
Expressing deep emotions and tears solely for the person being addressed.
Why haven't you seen it
Questioning why the person hasn't noticed or understood the feelings being conveyed.
I'm all for you body and soul
Committing entirely to the person emotionally and physically.
I spend my days in longin'
Spending time in a state of longing or yearning for the person.
I'm wondering why it's me you're wronging
Confused about why the person is treating the singer unfairly.
I tell you I mean it
Asserting the sincerity of the emotions being expressed.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reiterating complete dedication to the person emotionally and physically.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief at the situation.
It's hard to conceive it
Finding it difficult to understand or believe.
That you'd throw away romance
Feeling that the romantic aspect of the relationship has been discarded.
Are you pretending
Questioning if the person is pretending.
It looks like the ending
Seeming like the end of the relationship is approaching.
Unless I can have one more chance to prove, dear
Desiring one more opportunity to demonstrate affection and commitment.
My life a hell you're making
Feeling like life has become unbearable due to the person's actions.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Expressing willingness to be taken advantage of by the person.
I'd gladly surrender
Willing to completely surrender emotionally and physically.
Myself to you body and soul
Offering complete devotion to the person.
What lies before me
Uncertain and worried about the future ahead.
A future that's stormy
Anticipating a difficult and turbulent future.
A winter that's gray and cold
Expecting a cold and bleak period.
Unless there's magic the end will be tragic
Fearing a tragic end unless something magical happens.
And echo a tale that's been told so often
Referencing a common and repetitive narrative.
My life revolves about you
Centering life's focus entirely around the person.
What earthly good am I without you
Feeling worthless or without purpose without the person.
Oh I tell you I mean it
Emphasizing the depth of commitment and dedication once again.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reiterating complete emotional and physical dedication.
