Body & Soul
Monty Alexander & Ray Brown & Herb Ellis Lyrics

My heart is sad and lonely
I'm feeling extremely emotional and melancholic.

For you I sigh, for you dear only
I yearn for you deeply and exclusively.

Why haven't you seen it
I wonder why you haven't recognized my affection for you.

I'm all for you body and soul
I'm devoted to you wholly and completely.

I spend my days in longing
I spend my days consumed by longing for you.

And wondering why it's me you're wronging
I'm puzzled as to why you're mistreating me.

I tell you I mean it
I'm declaring with sincerity that what I'm saying is true.

I'm all for you body and soul
I'm entirely committed to you, both physically and emotionally.

I can't believe it
I'm finding it difficult to accept the situation.

It's hard to conceive it
It's difficult to imagine that this is happening.

That you'd turn away romance
It's surprising that you would reject a romantic relationship.

Are you pretending
I'm questioning whether your actions or feelings are genuine.

It looks like the ending
It appears as though our relationship could be coming to an end.

Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
I'm pleading for an opportunity to demonstrate my love for you and salvage our relationship.

My life a wreck you're making
The way you're treating me is causing tremendous chaos and upheaval in my life.

You know I'm yours for just the taking
You're aware that I'm deeply in love with you and would do anything for you.

I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
I'm willing to give myself completely to you, physically and emotionally.
