Body and Soul
Melancholic Melody: Unveiling the Depths of Longing in '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 and sighing exclusively for the person being 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 and commitment to the person, both physically ("body") and emotionally ("soul").
I spend my days in longing
Expressing the speaker's daily experience of yearning.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Wondering why the addressed person is treating the speaker wrongly.
I tell you I mean it
Reiterating the sincerity of the emotions expressed.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reaffirming the total dedication of the speaker's being to the addressed person.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief at 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 romance.
Are you pretending
Questioning if the addressed person is pretending.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that the situation appears to be coming to an end.
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Desiring another chance to prove the depth of emotions.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing the impact of the current situation on the speaker's life.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Affirming the speaker's availability for the taking by the addressed person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a willingness to surrender entirely, both physically and emotionally, to the addressed person.
My life a wreck you're making
Reiteration of the impact on the speaker's life due to the current circumstances.
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Reaffirming the speaker's availability for the taking.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Reiterating the willingness to surrender completely to the addressed person, emphasizing the unity of body and soul.
