Desafinado

Off-Key  （Desafinado）  -  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

    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
