Lyrics

Body and Soul

If you only knew what I've been through
you'd use a slow and gentle hand
cause I need someone who must
be someone I can trust
I need a good and honest man
My body and my soul are still connected
But on days like this it's only by a thread
If you want some of my time
go ahead and stand in line
and I will help you as soon as I can

You disconnect, I pull away
when I leave, you decide to stay
aren't we tired of these endless games
We've got different ways to deal
different strategies not to feel
But these hopes and fears are the same
My body and my soul are still connected
But on days like this it's only by a thread
There are things that tear a girl apart
separate a body from a heart
and I don't think you want to take that blame

You seem a nice enough guy
who wouldn't kiss and say good-bye
but I have made mistakes before
I don't wanna be just the flavor of the week
because my heart can't take it no more
My body and my soul are still connected
But I swear some days it's only by a thread
Would you play into my fear
kidnap my heart and disappear
or could you be shelter from the storm

You can only be let down if you believe
Still I won't give up until this darkness leaves
Can you give me something I can hold onto
Would you mind if I just held on tight to you?
