Body and Soul
Yearning Melody of Love: Jack Teagarden's 'Body and Soul' Unveiled
Lyrics
My heart is sad and lonely
Expressing deep sorrow and isolation in my emotions
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Longing specifically for you, and no one else
Why haven't you seen it
Questioning why you haven't noticed my feelings
I'm all for you body and soul
I am completely devoted to you in every way
I spend my days in longing
My days are filled with aching desire for you
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Wondering why I am being treated unfairly by you
I tell you I mean it
Asserting the sincerity of my feelings
I'm all for you body and soul
I am entirely dedicated to you in body and spirit
I can't believe it
Struggling to believe the situation I find myself in
It's hard to conceive it
It's difficult to accept or understand
That you'd turn away romance
Surprised that you would reject love and intimacy
Are you pretending
Questioning if you are pretending or being insincere
It looks like the ending
Seems like our relationship is coming to an end
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Desiring one last opportunity to demonstrate my love
My life a wreck you're making
Feeling that you are causing chaos in my life
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Expressing willingness to be yours completely
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Ready to give myself entirely to you, physically and spiritually
My life a wreck you're making
Repeating the sentiment about the chaos in my life caused by you
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Reiterating the willingness to be taken by you
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Emphasizing the readiness to surrender completely to you
