Body and Soul
Soulful Longing: Unveiling the Emotion Behind 'Body and Soul' by Milt Hinton
Lyrics
My heart is sad and lonely
Expressing a feeling of sadness and loneliness in the heart.
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Sighing and expressing deep emotions solely for the person addressed.
Why haven't you seen it
Questioning why the addressed person hasn't noticed the emotions being conveyed.
I'm all for you body and soul
Declaring a complete devotion and dedication to the person, both physically and emotionally.
I spend my days in longing
Spending days in a state of desire and wondering about the reasons for feeling wronged by the addressed person.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Expressing genuine confusion about being treated unfairly by the addressed person.
I tell you I mean it
Reaffirming the sincerity of emotions and feelings.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reiterating complete dedication to the person in both physical and emotional aspects.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief in the situation.
It's hard to conceive it
Highlighting the difficulty in accepting the current circumstances.
That you'd turn away romance
Expressing surprise at the rejection of romantic advances.
Are you pretending
Questioning if the addressed person is pretending or not being genuine.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that it seems like the relationship is reaching its conclusion.
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Expressing a strong desire for another opportunity to prove love and commitment.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing the impact of the relationship on the speaker's life as destructive.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Acknowledging a willingness to be taken by the addressed person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Offering complete surrender, both physically and emotionally, to the person.
My life a wreck you're making
Repeating the sentiment of a troubled life caused by the addressed person.
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Reaffirming availability and willingness to be taken by the person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a repeated willingness to surrender completely to the person, both physically and emotionally.
