Frank Sinatra - Desafinado lyrics

Writer(s): antonio carlos jobim - john kendricks - newton mendonca<br><br>When I try to sing you say I'm off key<br>Why can't you see how much this hurts me<br>With your perfect beauty and your perfect pitch<br>You're a perfect terror<br>When I come around must you always put me down<br><br>If you say my singing is off key my love<br>You will hurt my feelings don't you see my love<br>I wish I had an ear like yours<br>A voice that would behave<br>But all I have is feelings and a voice gone deaf<br><br>You insist my music goes against the rules<br>But rules were never meant for lovesick fools<br>I wrote this little song for you but you don't care<br>Its a crooked song oh but all my love is there<br><br>The thing that you would see if you would play your part<br>Is even if I'm out of tune I have a gentle heart<br>I took your picture with my trusty rollaflex<br>And now all I have developed is a complex<br><br>Possibly in vain I hope you weaken oh my love<br>And forget these rigid rules that undermine my dream of<br>A life of love and music with someone who'll understand<br>That even though I may be out of tune<br>When I attempt to say how much I love you<br>All that matters is the message that I bring<br>Which is my dear one I love you
