Frank Sinatra Song Lyrics
(J. Hendrinks, A.C. Joblim, N. Mendonca) (Recorded Febrary 12, 1969, Hollywod) 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 |
