Body and Soul
Melancholic Yearning: A Soul's Plea for Love
Lyrics
My heart is sad and lonely
Expressing deep sorrow and isolation in the heart.
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Longing and sighing 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 complete dedication, both physically and emotionally.
I spend my days in longin'
Spending time in a state of yearning and contemplation.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Puzzled about why the person is causing pain or harm.
I tell you I mean it
Asserting the sincerity of emotions and commitment.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reiterating the complete dedication of body and soul.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief, possibly about a situation or the person's actions.
It's hard to conceive it
Finding it difficult to accept or understand the circumstances.
That you turn away romance
Addressing the turning away from romantic involvement.
Are you pretending
Questioning if the person is feigning emotions or commitment.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that the situation appears to be reaching its conclusion.
Unless I could have one more chance to prove, dear
Expressing a desire for another opportunity to prove love.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing the detrimental impact on the speaker's life.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Affirming the availability and willingness to be claimed by the person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Reaffirming the complete surrender of oneself physically and emotionally.
My life a wreck you're making
Repeating the description of the negative impact on the speaker's life.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Reiterating the willingness to be claimed by the person.
I would gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a strong willingness to completely surrender to the person.
