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 wrote 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 Rolliflex 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 (return to top)
