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´re 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 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 key one I love you.
