Body And Soul
Eddie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
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 just 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 the very taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
The song "Body and Soul" was first composed in 1930 by Johnny Green and Edward Heyman, with lyrics by Robert Sour and Frank Eyton. It has since been covered numerous times by various artists, including Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. Davis's version, however, is notable for his jazzy saxophone solos and his soulful delivery of the lyrics. The song's theme is about unrequited and unsatisfied love, with the singer expressing his deep longing and sorrow for the person they love.
The first verse of the song sets the tone for the rest of the piece, with the singer expressing their sadness and loneliness for the person they love. They clearly state that they are devoted to this person and long for their attention above all else. The second verse delves deeper into their sadness and confusion, wondering why they are being wronged and ignored. Despite this mistreatment, the singer declares their continued love and devotion, willing to surrender themselves entirely to the object of their affection.
The final verse is the most desperate, with the singer unable to believe that their love is being rejected. They plead for another chance to prove their love and to save their relationship. The song is a heartfelt and poignant portrayal of unrequited love, and Davis's rendition captures the pain and longing conveyed in the lyrics.
