When I try to sing you say I?m off key
Why can?t you see how much this hurts me?
With your perfect beauty and your perfect pitch
You are a perfect terror When I come around
Must you always put me down
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 be-have
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 Rolley flex
And now all I have developed is a com-plex
Possibly in vain I hope you weaken, oh my love
And for-get 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.
