Yearning Devotion: Exploring Love's Depths in 'Body and Soul'
Lyrics
My heart is sad and lonely
Expressing sadness and loneliness in the heart.
For you I sigh, for you dear only
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
Expressing complete dedication and commitment, both physically ("body") and emotionally ("soul").
I spend my days in longing
Spending time in deep yearning and contemplation.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Expressing confusion and hurt about being mistreated or misunderstood.
I tell you I mean it
Asserting sincerity in feelings.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reiterating total dedication both physically and emotionally.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief in the situation.
It's hard to conceive it
Highlighting the difficulty in accepting the situation.
That you'd turn away romance
Expressing surprise that the addressee is rejecting romantic advances.
Are you pretending
Questioning if the addressee is pretending.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that the situation seems like it could be the end of the relationship.
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Expressing a desire for another opportunity to prove love.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing life as being in disarray due to the addressee's actions.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Affirming availability and willingness to be taken by the addressee.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Reiterating a readiness to surrender both physically and emotionally.
My life a wreck you're making
Repeating the description of a chaotic life caused by the addressee.
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Reaffirming availability and a willingness to be taken by the addressee.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a renewed commitment to surrender both physically and emotionally.
