Heart and Soul
Huey Lewis / The News Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two o'clock this morning
If she should come a calling
I couldn't dream of turning her away
And if it got hot and hectic
I know she'd be electric
I'd let her take her chances with me
You see, the gets what she wants
'Cause she's heart and soul
She's hot and cold
She's got it all, hot loving every night, oh
Oh

Can't you see her standing there
See how she looks, see how she cares
I let her steal the night away from me
Nine o'clock this morning
She left without a warning
I let her take advantage of me
You see, she got what she wanted

'Cause she's heart and soul
She's hot and cold
She's got it all, hot loving every night, oh
Oh

Yes it's heart and soul
She's hot and cold
She's got it all
She's heart and soul, yeah

She's got hot loving every night, oh
Oh
She's got it all
She's heart and soul
She's heart and soul
She's heart and soul
She's heart and soul




She's heart and soul
She's heart and soul

She commands attention and knows exactly what she wants, and she gets it. The singer cannot help but give in to her, even if it means she takes advantage of him. The song is ultimately a celebration of this woman's power and irresistible appeal.


The lyrics of this song are simple but effective, describing a woman who is both desirable and unpredictable. Huey Lewis' raspy vocals perfectly capture the singer's infatuation with this woman. The band's sound is classic 80s, with driving drums and catchy guitar riffs that will get stuck in your head. Heart and Soul was a hit when it was released in 1983, and it remains a classic rock staple today.
