Body & Soul
Amy Winehouse & Tony Bennett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why haven't you seen it, I'm all for you
Body and soul
I spend my days in longing
Wondering why it's me that you're wronging
I tell, you I mean it, I'm all for you
Body and soul
I can't believe it, it's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away, romance
Are you pretending, it looks like the ending
Unless, I could have one more chance to prove, dear
My life a wreck, you're making
You know, I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you
Body and soul
My life a wreck, you're making
You know I'm yours for just the very taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you
Body and soul
The lyrics of "Body and Soul" by Amy Winehouse and Tony Bennett beautifully depict a person's intense longing and unrequited love for another. The song starts with the singer expressing their devotion to the person they love, who seems to be oblivious to their feelings. The use of "Body and Soul" suggests that the person loves them both physically and emotionally, offering themselves entirely to the other person. However, the person doesn't seem to reciprocate, leaving the singer in constant state of pain and uncertainty.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses their despair and the constant state of agony they are in because of the rejection. They can't understand why the other person is not interested in them, and it's slowly killing them. The use of the phrase, "My life a wreck, you're making," captures the extent of their anguish in a powerful way. The song ends with the singer pleading with the other person to give them one last chance to prove their love.
The lyrics of "Body and Soul" are incredibly poignant and emotionally charged, making it one of the most memorable songs of all time.
