The Rat Pack 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 (ogling)
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 the very 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 Rat Pack's "Body and Soul" is a soulful, melancholic song about the singer's unrequited love for someone. The lyrics express sadness and longing as the singer pledges their love, body and soul, to the object of their affection. The first two lines set the tone, describing the singer's heart as "sad and lonely" and expressing their desire for the person they love. The following lines continue with the same theme, with the singer wondering why the recipient of their affection hasn't noticed their feelings, asking if they're pretending and offering to surrender themselves wholly to the object of their desire.
The lyrics are full of pathos and vulnerability, as the singer lays their heart and soul bare, but the song is also infused with a sense of hopefulness. The final lines express a readiness to prove themselves worthy of the other person's love, suggesting that there is still a chance for the two of them to be together. Overall, the song is a poignant meditation on unrequited love, sung with an emotive vocal delivery that emphasizes the depth of feeling conveyed in the lyrics.

My heart is sad and lonely
I am feeling depressed and alone
For you I sigh, for you dear only
I long for you and desire only you
Why haven't you seen it
Why are you not aware of my feelings
I'm all for you body and soul
I am completely devoted to you with all my heart and soul
I spend my days in longing
My days are consumed with a deep yearning for you
And wondering why it's me you're (ogling)
I am curious why you are not paying attention to me
I tell you I mean it
I want you to know I am sincere
I'm all for you body and soul
I am completely devoted to you with all my heart and soul
I can't believe it
I am in disbelief
It's hard to conceive it
It is difficult to understand
That you'd turn away romance
I can't believe you would reject my romantic advances
Are you pretending
Are you not being truthful with me?
It looks like the ending
It appears that our relationship is coming to an end
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
I hope I get another opportunity to demonstrate my love for you
My life a wreck you're making
You are causing chaos in my life
You know I'm yours for the very taking
You are aware that I am completely available to you
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
I would willingly give myself up completely to you with all my heart and soul
