Body and Soul
Yearning Love in "Body and Soul" Lyrics
Lyrics
My heart is sad and lonely
Expressing sadness and loneliness in the heart.
For you I sigh, just for you only,
Sighing exclusively for the person being 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 both physically ("body") and emotionally ("soul").
I spent my days in longing
Reflecting on days spent in yearning.
And wondering why, why it's me that you're wronging?
Wondering why the speaker feels wronged by the addressed person.
I tell you that I mean it
Asserting the sincerity of emotions expressed.
I'm all for you, body and soul!
Reiterating complete dedication physically and emotionally.
I can't believe it, it's hard to conceive it
Expressing disbelief at the situation, finding it hard to understand.
That you turn away romance
Noting the rejection of romance by the addressed person.
Are you pretending? Because it looks like the ending
Questioning if the rejection is genuine or a pretense, suggesting a potential end.
Unless I could have one more chance to prove dear
Desiring another chance to prove love and commitment.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing the impact on the speaker's life caused by the addressed person.
You know I'm yours just for the taking
Affirming exclusive belonging to the addressed person.
I would gladly surrender,
Expressing willingness to surrender completely.
Surrender myself to you, body and soul!
Offering oneself entirely, both 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, I'm yours for just the taking
Reaffirming exclusive belonging and availability for the addressed person.
I would gladly surrender, myself to you
Reiterating willingness to surrender entirely.
Body and soul!
Final declaration of complete dedication physically and emotionally.
