Body and Soul
Passionate Longing: Unveiling the Soulful Meaning of Rick Margitza's 'Body and Soul'
Lyrics
My heart is sad and lonely
Expressing sadness and loneliness in the heart.
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Longing specifically for the person being addressed.
Why haven't you seen it
Questioning why the addressed person hasn't noticed the feelings.
I'm all for you body and soul
Declaring complete dedication and commitment, both physically ("body") and emotionally ("soul").
I spend my days in longing
Days filled with a sense of emptiness and a desire for understanding the reasons for the perceived wrongs.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Reflecting on the perceived mistreatment or wrongdoing by the addressed person.
I tell you I mean it
Emphasizing the sincerity of the previous statements.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reiterating the dedication and commitment expressed in line 4.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief in the situation or the actions of the addressed person.
It's hard to conceive it
Highlighting the difficulty in accepting or understanding the situation.
That you'd turn away romance
Indicating a rejection or turning away from romantic involvement.
Are you pretending
Prompting a question about whether the addressed person is pretending.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that the situation seems to be approaching its conclusion.
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Expressing a desire for another opportunity to prove love and dedication.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing the impact on the speaker's life caused by the perceived mistreatment.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Affirming readiness to be taken by the addressed person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a willingness to surrender entirely, both physically and emotionally.
My life a wreck you're making
Reiterating the negative impact on the speaker's life due to perceived mistreatment.
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Affirming readiness to be taken, emphasizing the speaker's availability.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Repeating the willingness to surrender completely, echoing the sentiments from line 20.
