Short & Curly - Love Is an Instrumental Lyrics

I'm not looking for love that's perfect note for note
Lost in loneliness is the tenor of my song
Some people say I'm a hopeless dozy dote
But hum a bit, we'll pick it up as we go along

I know I'm sounding absurd
I'm always messing up the words
But honestly, what more can I say
Than love's an instrumental day to day
Love's an instrumental anyway

If you should hear me coming in on the off beat
It's just because my timing's flawed from sad refrains
I've played the second fiddle in a bitter suite
And fallen out of tune and other contrapuntal pains

I know I'm sounding absurd
I'm always messing up the words
But honestly, what more can I say
Than love's an instrumental day to day
Love's an instrumental anyway

It's hard to get things right from the very first take
Perfect pitch is not always what it's made out
If what you're looking for is an instrumental break
I can do without the verse, the chorus and the fade-out

I know I'm sounding absurd
I'm always messing up the words
But honestly, what more can I say
Than love's instrumental day to day
Love's an instrumental, love's an instrumental
Love's an instrumental anyway
