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
But all I have is feelings
And a voice gone deaf
You insist my music goes against the rules
But rules were never meant for lovesick fools
I wrote this little song for
You but you don't care
Its a crooked song oh but
All my love 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 Rollaflex
And now all I have developed is a complex
Possibly in vain I hope you weaken oh my love
And forget these 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
