Body and Soul
Passionate Longing: Billy Vaughn's 'Body and Soul' Emotion Unveiled
Lyrics
My heart is sad and lonely
Expressing sadness and loneliness in the heart.
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Longing and sighing exclusively for the person addressed.
Why haven't you seen it
Questioning why the addressed person hasn't noticed the emotions.
I'm all for you body and soul
Declaring total dedication and commitment, both physically and emotionally.
I spend my days in longing
Days spent in yearning and contemplating why the speaker feels wronged.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Expressing confusion about being mistreated by the addressed person.
I tell you I mean it
Asserting sincerity and truthfulness in the expression of feelings.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reiterating complete dedication, physically and emotionally, to the addressed person.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief in the situation.
It's hard to conceive it
Highlighting the difficulty in accepting the current circumstances.
That you'd turn away romance
Expressing surprise or disappointment that romance is being rejected.
Are you pretending
Raising a question about whether the addressed person is pretending.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that the situation appears to be reaching its conclusion.
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Expressing a desire for one more opportunity to prove love and commitment.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing the impact of the relationship on the speaker's life as destructive.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Affirming complete availability for the other person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing willingness to surrender entirely, both physically and emotionally.
My life a wreck you're making
Reiteration of the negative impact on the speaker's life caused by the relationship.
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Reaffirming complete availability and willingness to be taken by the other person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a repeated willingness to surrender fully, both physically and emotionally.
