Love is like a never-ending melody
  Poets have compared it to a symphony
  A symphony conducted, by the lighting of the moon
  But our song of love is slightly out of tune
  Once your kiss has raised me to a fever pitch
  And now the orchestration doesn't seem so rich
  It seems to me you changed the tune we sing
  
  Like a bossa nova love should swing
  We used to harmonise, two souls in perfect time
  But now the song is different
  And the words don't even rhyme
  Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always groove
  And what good is a heart that is slightly out of tune?
  
  Tune your heat to mine, the way it used to be
  Join with me in harmony
  And sing a song of loving
  We're bound to get in tune again
  Before too long
  There'll be no desafinado
  When your heart belongs to me completely
  Then you won't be slightly out of tune
  You'll sing along with me
  
  Like a bossa nova love should swing
  We used to harmonise, two souls in perfect time
  But now the song is different
  And the words don't even rhyme
  Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always groove
  And what good is a heart that is slightly out of tune?
  
  Tune your heat to mine, the way it used to be
  Join with me in harmony
  And sing a song of loving
  We're bound to get in tune again
  Before too long
  There'll be no desafinado
  When your heart belongs to me completely
  Then you won't be slightly out of tune
  You'll sing along with me
