Off Key (Desafinado) - Ella Fitzgerald

Off Key(Desafinado) (Album Version) - Ella Fitzgerald
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
