I like it when you sing
And all the notes agree
When the melody is certain
And the rhythm is a guarantee
But I love it when you let go
And howl at the moon
‘Cuz sometimes the words sound better
When you sing ‘em out of tune

I like it when you play
Right on key
I like it when you fill the space
With perfect harmony
But I love it when you honky-tonk
Like a piano in an old saloon
‘Cuz sometimes the notes sound better
When you play ‘em out of tune

I like it when you act
As if the world's a stage
And your character delivers
The soliloquies of a sage
But I love it when you go off script
And kiss the girl too soon
‘Cuz sometimes the story’s better
When you tell it out of tune
Sometimes life is better
When you live it out of tune
