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 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 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 play your part Is even if I'm out of tune I have a gentle heart I took your picture with my trusty Rolleiflex 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 All that matters is the message that I bring, which is My dear one I love you
