Ella Fitzgerald "Off Key (Desafinado)" lyrics

Off Key (Desafinado)

If you say my singing isOff 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 feelingAnd the voice god gave

You insist my musicGoes against the rulesYes, but rules were never madeFor lovesick foolsI 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 partIs even if I'm out of tune,I have a gentle heartI took your pictureWith my trusty Rolle flexAnd now all I have developedIs a complex

Possibly in vain,I hope you'll weaken, oh my loveAnd forget those rigid rulesThat undermine my dreamOf a life of love and musicWith someone who'll understandThat even though I may be out of tune,When I attempt to say how much I love youAll that matters is the messageThat I bring which is:My dear, one, I love you
