George Michael, Astrud Gilberto - Desafinado (Off Key) letra (lyrics)

If you say my singing is off key, my love
You would 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 lovesick fools
I wrote this song for you
But, you don't care it's a crooked song, ah
But my heart is there
The thing that you would see if
You would play the part
Is even if I'm out of tune
I have a gentle heart
I took your picture with my trusty rolliflex
And now all I have developed is complex

Possibly in vain, I hope you 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
And all that matters is the
Message that I bring
Which is: my dear one, I love you
