Body And Soul
Great Guitars 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 lyrics to Great Guitars' "Body And Soul" express deep longing and love for someone who is not reciprocating those feelings. The singer's heart is sad and lonely, and they can't understand why the person they love hasn't noticed their affection. They spend their days longing for the other person and wondering why they are being wronged. Despite this, the singer proclaims that they are "all for you body and soul," completely devoted and willing to give themselves entirely to the other person.
The second verse expresses the frustration and desperation that the singer feels, unable to believe that the other person would turn away romance. The singer pleads for one more chance to prove themselves and laments that their life is a wreck because of the unrequited love. Even so, they offer themselves completely to the other person, willing to surrender their body and soul.

My heart is sad and lonely
I'm feeling broken-hearted and alone without you
For you I sigh, for you dear only
You're the only one I long for and I crave your presence
Why haven't you seen it
I wonder why you haven't noticed my love for you
I'm all for you body and soul
I'm devoted to you completely, from the physical to the spiritual
I spend my days in longing
I spend every day yearning for you
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
I can't understand why you're hurting me
I tell you I mean it
I want you to know that I'm sincere about my feelings
I'm all for you body and soul
I'm devoted to you completely, from the physical to the spiritual
I can't believe it
It's hard for me to accept what's happening
It's hard to conceive it
It's difficult for me to imagine
That you'd turn away romance
That you would reject my love
Are you pretending
Are you acting like you don't care?
It looks like the ending
It seems like this is the end of us
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Unless you give me another opportunity to show you my love
My life a wreck you're making
You're causing chaos in my life
You know I'm yours for just the taking
You know I'm willing to do anything for you
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
I would willingly give all of myself to you, physically and spiritually
My life a wreck you're making
You're causing chaos in my life
You know I'm yours for the very taking
You know I'm willing to do anything for you
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
I would willingly give all of myself to you, physically and spiritually
