Passionate Longing: Unveiling the Depths of 'Body and Soul' Meaning
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 specifically for the person addressed.
Why haven't you seen it
Questioning why the addressed person hasn't noticed the emotional state.
I'm all for you body and soul
Declaring complete devotion and commitment both physically and emotionally.
I spend my days in longing
Spending time in a state of yearning and questioning the reasons for being mistreated.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Expressing genuine confusion about why the singer is being treated poorly.
I tell you I mean it
Asserting the sincerity of the emotions expressed.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reiterating the complete dedication of the self to the addressed person.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief at the situation or behavior.
It's hard to conceive it
Highlighting the difficulty in accepting or understanding the circumstances.
That you'd turn away romance
Expressing surprise or disbelief at the rejection of romantic advances.
Are you pretending
Questioning if the rejection is genuine or a pretense.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that the situation seems like it might lead to the end of the relationship.
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Desiring another opportunity to prove love and commitment.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing life as being in shambles due to the actions of the addressed person.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Affirming readiness to be claimed or taken by the addressed person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a willingness to surrender completely, both physically and emotionally.
My life a wreck you're making
Reiterating the impact on life caused by the actions of the addressed person.
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Affirming availability for being taken by the addressed person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a willingness to surrender completely, echoing sentiments from earlier in the song.
