Songtexte Desafinado (off key) - Mark Murphy

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
Your perfect terror
When I come around must you always put me down?
If 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
Yeah, but rules were never made for lovesick fools
I wrote this old 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 weaken, oh, my love
And forgive 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
Desifinado, desifinado
Desifinado, desifinado
Desifinado, desifinado
Desifinado, desifinado
Desifinado, desifinado
