Desafinado

If you say my singing is off key my love
You will hurt my feelings don't you see my love

I wish I had an ear like yours
A voice that would behave
But all I have is feelings and a voice gone deaf

You insist my music goes against the rules

Yes but rules were never made for lovesick fools

I wrote this little song for you but you don't care

It's a crooked song oh but all my heart is there

The thing that you would see if you would do your part

Is even if I'm out of tune I have a gentle heart

I took your picture with my trusty Rollaflex

And now all I have developed is a complex

Possibly in vain I hope you weaken oh my love

And forget these rigid rules that undermine my dream of
A life of love and music with someone who'll understand

That even though I may be out of tune
When I attempt to say how much I love you
All that matters is the message that I bring
Which is my dear one I love you.

That even though I may be out of tune
When I attempt to say how much I love you
All that matters is the message that I bring
Which is my dear one I love you.
