If you say my singing is off key, my love |
|
You would 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 lovesick fools |
|
I wrrote this song for you |
|
But you don`t care |
|
It`s a crooked song, ah, |
|
But my heart is there |
|
The thing that you would see if you would play the 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 complex |
|
Possibly in vain, I hope you 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 |
|
And all that matters is the message that I bring, |
|
Which is: my dear one, I love you |
