Intro:
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 [bad word] 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 feeling and a voice God gave

You insist my music goes against [bad word] Yes, [bad word] were never meant for lovesick fools
I wrote this little song for you, but you don't care

It's 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 [bad word] Rolleiflex
But now all I have developed is [bad word] 
Possibly in vain, I hope you'll weaken, oh, my love
And forget those [bad word] that undermine my dream of
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
