Lyrics

My heart is sad and lonely

Expressing sadness and loneliness in the heart.

For you I sigh, for you dear only

Sighing and expressing devotion solely for the person addressed.

Why haven't you seen it

Pondering why the addressee hasn't noticed the emotions.

I'm all for you body and soul

Declaring complete dedication both physically ("body") and emotionally ("soul").


I spend my days in longing

Spending days in yearning and questioning why there's mistreatment.

And wondering why it's me you're wronging

Reiterating the sincerity of emotions and questioning the wrongdoing.

I tell you I mean it

Emphasizing the truthfulness of the feelings.

I'm all for you body and soul

Reaffirming complete devotion both physically and emotionally.


I can't believe it

Expressing disbelief at the situation.

It's hard to conceive it

Highlighting the difficulty in comprehending the situation.

That you'd turn away romance

Expressing surprise or disappointment at the rejection of romance.

Are you pretending

Questioning if the addressee is feigning emotions.

It looks like the ending

Suggesting that the relationship seems to be reaching its conclusion.

Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear

Desiring another chance to prove love.


My life a wreck you're making

Describing life as disrupted or ruined by the addressee.

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

Offering complete surrender, both physically and emotionally.


My life a wreck you're making

Repeating the idea of a disrupted life caused by the addressee.

You know I'm yours for the very taking

Reiterating availability for being taken by the addressee.

I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul

Expressing a willingness to surrender completely to the addressee both physically and emotionally.
