Body and Soul Lyrics

My days have grown so lonely
For you I cry, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul

I spend my days in longin'
You know it's you that I am longin'
Oh, I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul

I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd throw away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless I can have one more chance to prove, dear

My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Oh, I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul

[Instrumental]

My days have grown so lonely
For you I cry, for you dear only
Oh, Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul

I spend my days in longin'
And it's for you that I am longin'
Oh, I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul

I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd throw away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless I can have one more chance to prove, dear

My life a hell you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Oh, I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
