  • My heart is sad and lonely
    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 wronging
    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 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 just the 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 Writer/s: Edward Heyman, John W. Green, Robert Sour
