Lyrics of Off-key (desafinado)

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
