Heart & Soul
The Cleftones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I fell in love with you
Heart and soul
The way a fool would do
Madly
Because you held me tight
(Held me tight) Held me tight
(Held me tight) Held me tight
And so the kiss bear in the night
Heart and soul
I beg to be adored
Yes, and I lost control
And tumbled overboard
Gladly
That magic night we kissed
(That we kissed) Oh, we kissed
(That we kissed) Oh, we kissed
(That we kissed) Oh we kissed (That we kissed)
There in the moon-mist
Oh, but your lips were thrilling
Much too much too thrilling
Never before were mine so
Strangely willing
Darling and now I see
What one embrace can do
Come on, look at me
You've got me loving you
Madly
That little kiss you stole
(You stole) oh, you stole (you stole)
Oh, you stole (you stole)
Oh, you stole
(Yes, you stole) all my heart
(You stole) and soul
(Yes, you stole) all my heart
(You stole) and soul
(Yes, you stole) oh, you stole
(You stole) all my heart
(Yes you stole) oh, you stole (you stole)

Watching American graffiti with my parents as a child introduced me into my love of every generation of music! My parents raised me right...and I’m proud to say that I love, and appreciate music I may never have never appreciated if not for my parents. They were before their time and I’m so thankful for that! 🎼 ♥️

Let's go back to very little technology. It wouldn't bother me a bit.

Shocked this song only made to #18 on the Billboard chart. Great song I don't get tired of hearing it.
@doreenrush2948
I love this song The lead singer had such a great voice
This is rock in roll music at it's best. The lead singer passed away a few years ago. RIP.
@nortoncomando3728
One of the best songs on the soundtrack it definitely has some history behind it. This is one of the very best versions depending on you viewpoint of course. When I saw AG in 1973 at 13 I thought What Happened? How could we change so much in such a short time?
