Body & Soul
Aki Takase / David Murray Lyrics

My heart is sad and lonely
The singer feels deeply unhappy and alone.

For you I sigh, for you dear only
The singer longs specifically for the person they address, and no one else.

Why haven't you seen it
The singer wonders why the person they address hasn't realized their feelings.

I'm all for you body and soul
The artist is completely committed to the person they address, with all their physical, emotional, and spiritual being.

I spend my days in longing
The artist feels a constant, overwhelming desire for the person they address.

And wondering why it's me you're wronging
The singer is confused and hurt by the thought of this person not reciprocating their feelings.

I tell you I mean it
The singer wants the person they address to know that they are sincere in their feelings.

I can't believe it
The artist is having trouble coming to terms with the fact that their love may not be returned.

It's hard to conceive it
The idea of this person rejecting them is almost impossible for the artist to imagine.

That you'd turn away romance
The artist is shocked that the person they address would refuse the possibility of a romantic relationship.

Are you pretending
The singer questions whether the person they address is feigning disinterest.

It looks like the ending
The artist believes that their pursuit of this person may have reached its conclusion.

Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
The singer feels they need another opportunity to prove their devotion.

My life a wreck you're making
The singer's emotional turmoil is being caused by this person's rejection of their love.

You know I'm yours for just the taking
The singer is completely at the mercy of the person they address.

I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
The artist is willing to give themselves entirely to the person they address, without reservation or hesitation.
