Emotive Longing: "Body and Soul" Meaning Explored
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 longing 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 to the person, both physically and emotionally.
I spend my days in longing
Spending days in a state of desire and wondering why the person is treating the speaker unfairly.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Asserting the sincerity of the emotions and the impact of the perceived wronging.
I tell you I mean it
Reiterating the depth of commitment and emotions.
I'm all for you body and soul
Expressing complete dedication, both physically and emotionally.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief at the situation.
It's hard to conceive it
Highlighting the difficulty in accepting the circumstances.
That you'd turn away romance
Expressing surprise that the person would reject romantic feelings.
Are you pretending
Questioning if the person is pretending.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that the situation appears to be coming to an end.
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Desiring one more opportunity to prove love.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing the impact of the person's actions on the speaker's life.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Affirming availability and willingness to be taken by the person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a willingness to surrender entirely to the person, physically and emotionally.
My life a wreck you're making
Repeating the description of the impact on the speaker's life.
You know I'm yours for the very taking

I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
