Heart And Soul

I'm thinking it's about being emotionally cut off everytime they try to talk about to the other about their broken relationship.

I always loved this song (I actually bought the album at the time, so I could hear more of their stuff than just the one song).

Here is the album version of the song, in which the lyrics do match.

"Something in the moonlight catches my eye The shadow of a lover goes dancing by Looking for a little bit of love to grow, so Give me love, give me heart and soul You never let me cross to the other side now I'm tied to the hope that you will somehow Hard on the heels of something more But I lost your love, heart and soul

The tear in my heart as you walk on by (more than an ocean) I feel so low and your head is high Everything you do convinces me more (keeps us apart) Please, give me love, give me heart and soul Looking to the day when I saw your face (I feel a tearing in half of my heart) I wasn't in the running, I wasn't in the race You move in a way that I've known before Now I want your love, heart and soul

Tired eyes, tears that dried (leaving you ain't easy now) On the bed, on the pillow, where the love has died (loving you's the harder part) A turn of the key, through the door you go (you never want me for myself) Don't look back, to hurt me more (now I've needed you right from the very start) Everything you said was to the point Can't you try to (oh won't you even try to)

Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) Give a little bit of love to grow Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) And don't you make me beg for more (must I beg you) Give a sign, I need to know A little bit of heart and soul

Walking on the water, walking on the air (a walk on the water) That was the heart of the love we shared Do you keep secret left untold (is all that I need) Can't give love, heart or soul I used to have a lover with a Midas touch (but miracles are not happening) I turned to gold but he turned to dust Left me for another, I turned to stone Now give me love, heart and soul

Tired eyes, tears that dried (living in a fantasy) On the bed, on the pillow, where you told your lies (there's never any room to breathe) A turn of the key, my blood runs cold (hoping every waking hour) Don't look back to hurt me more (you'll turn around and say that we can start) Everything you did just said it all Can't you try to (oh won't you even try to)

Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul)

Give a little bit of love to grow Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) And don't you make me beg for more (must I beg you) Give a sign, I need to know A little bit of heart and soul

Somehow, I lost my way Looking to see something in your eyes But love will never compromise Now this is the politics of life, yeah!

Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) Give a little bit of love to grow Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) And don't you make me beg for more (must I beg you) Give a sign, I need to know A little bit, little bit

Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) Give a little bit of love to grow Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) And don't you make me beg for more (must I beg you) Give a sign, I need to know A little bit, little bit

Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) Give a little bit of love to grow Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) And don't you make me beg for more (must I beg you) Give a sign, I need to know, whoooah! Give a little bit of heart and soul Give a little bit of heart and soul"

I just found songmeanings, and my youngest was only 7 months when this first came out and she is 19 now. I didnt buy the cassestte at the time as we were moving across country and so on. Then years later I started to try to find the lyrics to it and until this week I have not found it on the net. I never did give up tho, as you can see. So sad that one would need to beg for love, but when it came out there I was in a relationship where this song fit to a t. thank you Majior Valor for putting the complete song on.

I cant' beleive that no one has poted a comment on this 'One Hit Wonder'....I can still remember listening to it on 98.7 KissFM in Greensboro, NC.....anyway...awesome song....and I love it....

Later y'all

Carol Decker, the lead singer, said she thought this song did well in the US because it was the birthplace of rap, and the 'spoken' elements of the song are her version of a rap. 'China in your Hands' is the song that topped the charts on the UK side of the pond.

The lyrics above are probably from the CD liner, which was printed with lyrics from an earlier version of the song. As such, they don't match the song as recorded. On the other hand, considering there are two layers of lyrics going on, it might be somewhat difficult to actually write down these lyrics.

This song seems to suggest a 'just friends' type of relationship. She's really in love with a man who is oblivious to it. She still hopes he will one day actually show some love (heart and soul).

Glad I could be of any help 2flowers.

I've listened to this song at least twice a week for the past six months. It's so freaking awesome. The layering of the two melodies and words is so cool. And catchy. It has great replay value, anyway.

Missing an entire verse! And there is a few typos. Great song,Carol Decker was a great singer,loved them on American Bandstand back in the day. :)

This song has a whole new meaning after the Black Mirror episode "San Junipero"!

Pathetic girl who doesn’t realize her love interest is not that into her. She is probably way less attractive than him. She’s practically a stalker, with no self esteem. He probably thinks she looks like a horror film spooky doll. She needs to find someone as creepy looking as her. What a waste of her energy.

That said, the song mix itself was unique, although the video was low quality and blurry.

He should have gotten a Restraining a Order. Fatal Attraction (except she wasn’t attractive).

Even if she WAS attractive, her desperation would have turned any man off. The man should do the pursuing.
