Body and Soul Lyrics

My heart is sad an' lonely
For you I sigh, for you dear only,
Why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you, body an' soul!

I spent my days in longing
And wondering why it's me you're wronging?
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you, body an' soul!

I can't believe it, it's hard to concede it
That you turn away romance
Are you pretending, it looks like the ending
Unless I could have one more chance
To prove dear . . .

My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you
Body an' soul!

My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you
Body an' soul!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
