Body and Soul
Yearning Devotion: Embracing Love and Longing
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 commitment and dedication, both physically ("body") and emotionally ("soul").
I spend my days in longing
Spending days in a state of yearning and confusion about being mistreated.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Expressing genuine confusion about the reasons for the perceived mistreatment.
I tell you I mean it
Asserting sincerity and truthfulness in the previous statements.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reiterating the complete dedication of oneself to the person, both physically and emotionally.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief at the situation.
It's hard to conceive it
Describing 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 rejection is genuine or a form of pretense.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that the situation seems to be heading towards an end.
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Expressing a desire for one more opportunity to prove love and commitment.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing life as disrupted or ruined due to the actions of the addressed person.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Affirming willingness to be claimed or chosen by the person addressed.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Offering complete surrender, both physically and emotionally.
My life a wreck you're making
Repeating the sentiment of life being in disarray due to the actions of the addressed person.
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Reiterating the availability for being claimed or chosen by the person addressed.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a willingness to completely surrender, both physically and emotionally, once again.
