John Pizzarelli - Desafinado (off Key) lyrics

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 All I have is feeling and the voice God gave You insist my music goes against the rules Yes, but rules were never made for love sick fools I wrote this little song for you, but you don't care It's a crooked song, ah, but, all my heart is there The thing that you would see if you would play your part Is even if I'm out of tune I have a gentle heart I took your picture with my trusty Rolleiflex And now all I have developed is a complex Possibly in vain, I hope you'll weaken, oh my love And forget those 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
