Off-Key

If you say my singing is off key, my loveYou will hurt my feelings, don't you see, my love?I wish I had an ear like yours,A voice that would behaveAll I have is feeling and the voice God gaveYou insist my music goes against the rulesYes, but rules were never madeFor love sick foolsI wrote this little song for you,But you don't careIt's a crooked song, ah, but, all my heart is thereThe thing that you would see if you would play your partIs even if I'm out of tuneI have a gentle heartI took your picture with my trusty RolleiflexAnd now all I have developed is a complexPossibly in vain,I hope you'll weaken, oh my loveAnd forget those rigid rules that undermine my dreamOf a life of love and music with someoneWho'll understandThat even though I may be out of tuneWhen I attempt to say how much I love youAll that matters is the message that I bring which is:My dear, one, I love you
