Desafinado
Lyricist:GENE LEES, N. MENDONCA, ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM Composer:GENE LEES, N. MENDONCA, ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM
When I try to sing, you say I'm off key Why can't you see how much this hurts me With your perfect beauty and your perfect pitch You're a perfect terror When I come around must you always put me down
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 a voice gone deaf
You insist my music goes against the rules Yes, but rules were never meant for lovesick fools I wrote this little song for you, but you don't care Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com It's a crooked song, oh but all my heart is there
The things that you would see if you would do your part Is even if I'm out of tune I have a gentle heart I took your picture with my trusty Rollaflex 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
