Off key
Tom Jobim
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.
