Desfinado (Off Key)

Desafinado (Off Key) - John Pizzarelli

Lyrics by：Antonio Carlos Jobim

Composed by：Antonio Carlos Jobim

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 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 Rolleiflex

And now all I have developed is a complex

Possibly in vain

I hope you'll 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

No no no no no no no

No no no no no no no

No no no no no no no

No no no no no no no

No no no no no no no

No no no no no no no

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

My dear one I love you

My dear one I love you
