karen carpenter - all because of you

Every night I get tired eyes
My feet don't reach the ground
Then I'm with you
I get by 'cause I know that you're near me
So baby close your eyes
I can sleep tonight
All because of you

Every night when the fire flies
The walls come tumblin' down
At the Bijou
I get by 'cause I know that you're near me
So baby close your eyes
I can sleep tonight
All because of you

I'll keep singin' my love song
In my mind I'll sing a song for you
you can see through the music
That's in my mind
So baby close your eyes
I can sleep tonight
All because of you
All because of you
All because of you

karen carpenter - guess i just lost my head

really don't mean to stare
I was only trying to memorize you there
You know I meant no harm
It's just that the starlight in your eye
Gave me a chill, nearly made me cry
I'm sure it's very clear

I don't know what's goin' down
(What's going down)
You're gonna ruin this poor girl from out of town
I like the way you move so much that

I guess I just lost my head
I know we should really know much better
I guess I just lost my head
I know we don't really know each other
So pardon the things I said
Won't you tell me you'll forgive me

I don't mean to intrude
It's just that I don't want to break this mood
(Don't want to break this mood here tonight)
And if I hold your hand it's just 'cause
There's something in the things you say
That wraps me up and really puts me away
But everybody knows

I don't know what's goin' down
You're gonna ruin this poor girl from out of town
I like the way you move so much that

I guess I just lost my head
I know we should really know much better
I guess I just lost my head
I know we don't really know each other
So pardon the things I said
Won't you tell me you'll forgive me

I don't know what's goin' down
(What's goin' down)
You're gonna ruin this poor girl from out of town
I like the way you move so much that

I guess I just lost my head
I know we should really know much better
I guess I just lost my head
(I've got the feeling inside)
I know we don't really know each other
(And I love you)
So pardon the things I said
(I need your loving tonight)
Won't you tell me you'll forgive me

Guess I lost it
Guess I lost it
I guess I just lost my head
(Cause you've been making me crazy)
I know we should really know much better
I guess I just lost my head
I know we don't really know each other
So pardon the things I said
Won't you tell me you'll forgive me

karen carpenter - if i had you

I wouldn't have the TV in the bedroom
I wouldn't have this tear drop in my eye
I wouldn't need the radio to be my lullaby
If I had you, if I had you

I wouldn't need the sun to light the morning
(I would need no sunshine)
If I could have your love to light my night
I'd never for a second keep our love from burnin' bright
If I had you in my life

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
If I had you again
I'd show you baby you're the only one

So say that you believe in second chances
(You believe in love)
And say you'll let me be with you tonight
(All through the night)
If you'll take my hand I'll show you
just how love could be so right
If I had you ( If I had you)
If I had you
(Here in my life)

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
If I had you again
I'd show you baby you're the only one

If you'll take my hand I'll show you
just how love could be so right
(Ooooooooohhhh)
If I had you (If I had you)
If I had you
(Back in my life)

If I had you again
(If I had you, I wouldn't be blue)
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
(I wouldn't be the fool yeah)
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
(I'd never be a fool)
If I had you again
(If I had you, I would be true)
I'd never let this moment dissappear
(If I had you, I wouldn't be blue)

If I had you in my life.

karen carpenter - if we try

I've been living memories
Lost in the warm of your smile
Driftin' through the dreams we used to share
Thinkin' 'bout the times we
spent in love without a care
And wishin' you were there

So darlin' if you
should feel you're lonely tonight
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us
If we try

Summer time was feelin' good
Holdin' the world in our hands
Seemed like what we had was growin' strong
Never even crossed our minds that
love would soon be gone
I guess that we were wrong

So darlin' if you
should feel you're lonely tonight
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us
If we try

So darlin' if you feel you're lonely tonight,
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
(I'll be by your side)
Cause we've got all those memories to guide us
And we can put that feelin' back inside us
If we try

karen carpenter - last one singin' the blues

I've always tried to level with you eye to eye
I finally found the devil in you by and by
But I don't really want to be the
Last one singing the blues

When it comes to fiction you're the best I've met
But all those little lies
are gonna get you yet
But I don't really want to be the
Last one singin' the blues

You say that you love me
But if you really love me
Then why do you treat me this way
Your game is that you're gone again
It's off and then it's on again
Well someday I won't play

If all I do is catch you in the same old lies
I'll just have to look at you
with different eyes
'Cause I don't really want to be
The last one singin' the blues

You say that you love me
But if you really love me
Then why do you treat me this way
Your game is that you're gone again
It's off and then it's on again
Well someday I won't play

(Don't forget the break)
Well fate will soon determine you're the one to lose
I'll be the one who's handin' you your walkin' shoes
'Cause I don't really want to be
The last one singin' the blues
Yeah, I don't really want to be
The last one singing the blues

karen carpenter - lovelines

Darling, you got me fallin'

karen carpenter - make believe it's your first time

We've tried our hand at love before
We've been around the game enough
to know the score
But then is then, and now is now
And now is all that matters anyhow

Make believe it's your first time
leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine

The door is closed
It's you and me
We'll take our time with love
the way it ought to be
This moment's ours
tonight's the night
And if we fall in love
Well, that's all right

Make believe it's your first time
leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make belive it's mine

karen carpenter - making love in the afternoon

Makin' love in the afternoon
Makin' love to another Beatle tune
And I know you're feelin' the same way too

All alone on a sunny day
On our own and we had to get away
And I know that I couldn't live without you
Don't ever leave me alone
Baby without you, I'd never make it alone

Makin' love on a sunny day
Makin' love in a very special way
And I hope you're feelin' the way I do
When you're here, When you're next to me,
When you're near its the only place to be
Cause I know that I couldn't live without you
Dont ever leave me alone
Livin'without you, I couldn't make it alone

Why wait for tomorrow?
Tomorrow may never come
Why wait for the evening shadows?
Something behind me, will always remind me
To wait for the morning
knowing you'll be here soon
And then we can be together
in the afternoon

Makin'love (Makin'love)
Makin' love in the afternoon
Makin' love (Makin' love)
Makin' love in the afternoon

Why wait for tomorrow?
Tomorrow may never come
Why wait for the evening shadows?
Something behind me, will always remind me
To wait for the morning
knowing you'll be here soon
And then we can be together
in the afternoon

Makin'love (Makin'love)
Makin' love in the afternoon
Makin' love (Makin' love)
Makin' love in the afternoon

karen carpenter - midnight

Used to spend my evenings
Waiting for the sun in the morning
Frightened by the dark
I would always leave lights on when I'd sleep
But darling, I've left all that behind
And now my days I find

It's the midnight calling
It's a magic moment everyday
When you hold me in that special way
When midnight comes around
Telling me I don't need to be blue
Lovin' you

Restless as the world
But I always keep the world on my shoulder
Like all of its worries
Are coming down on me
From above
But baby
When evening starts to fall
I forget them all

**Cause midnight never lets me down
There's a magic moment everyday
When you hold me in that special way
And when midnight always comes around
Telling me that I don't need to be blue
Lovin' you

I'm the only woman at your side
Don't ever let me go
We're dreaming about tomorrow
And drifting on a star in the sky

Repeat **

karen carpenter - my body keeps changing my mind

You, you're driving me wild
You're making me fall in love
In love with you baby, I
I'm losing control
I don't wanna let go yet
Till you want me

You, you're all that I need
You're all that I want
And I'd sure love to love you, I
I gotta go slow
keep it under control now
Till you want me

But my body keeps changing my mind
(body, moving, my mind)
Keeps changing my heart
when we're dancing
My body says love you tonight
(body, love you, tonight)
to drive me out of my mind
when we're dancing

Well I know it wouldn't be right
(Baby, wouldn't be right)
To say take me home tonight
(To take me, take me tonight my love)
But when we get to dancing
When I see you dancing
When it comes to dancing
My body keeps changing my mind

You, it's you in my heart
It's you on my mind
And you just can't help it
I should give it some time
And wait for the right sign
that you want me

Cause my body keeps changing my mind
(body, moving, my mind)
Keeps changing my heart
when we're dancing
My body says love you tonight
(body, love you, tonight)
to drive me out of my mind
when we're dancing

Well I know it wouldn't be right
(Baby, wouldn't be right)
To say take me home tonight
(To take me,take me tonight my love)
But when we get to dancing
When I see you dancing
When it comes to dancing
And we fly together across the floor
My heart's crying out for more
cause I just can't resist you

Well I know it wouldn't be right
(Baby, wouldn't be right)
To say take me home tonight
(To take me, take me tonight my love)
But when we get to dancing
(When it gets to love)
When I see you dancing
(I feel so good)
When we get to dancing
You know
My body keeps changing my mind
(body, moving, my mind)
Keeps changing my heart
when we're dancing
(You know it's so clear)
My body says love you tonight
(body, love you, tonight)
to drive me out of my mind
(Cause you're the one who takes me there)
when we're dancing

karen carpenter - remember when lovin took all night

You're close enough
to touch again
Where you should be
I'd love to think what your smile is leading to
I feel your eyes, starting a fire all over me
Oh baby you know, I know what your arms can do

(Say that you remember when)

Remember whe lovin' took all night
Remember the feelin' of doing it right
(Feeling right, my love)
It's been so wrong
(It's been so wrong baby)
You've been gone too long
Now it's gonna be all right
We'll take all night again tonight

And I think you know that missing you
Took all my time
Loneliness never ran so deep till then
Now here we are
Lost in a feelin' of feelin' good
Baby you know, I'll love you again and again

(Say that you remember when)

Remember when lovin' took all night
Remember the feelin' of doing it right
(Feeling right, my love)
It's been so wrong
(It's been so wrong baby)
You've been gone too long
Now it's gonna be all right

We'll take all night again tonight

karen carpenter - something's missing

5: 52 am
I'm awake
and thinkin 'bout my life
5: 53
I can see
I won't sleep a wink tonight
6 am
where's my pen?
I might as well get up and write a song
And try to work out
why when everything seems right
why do I feel so alone?

Something missing
in my life
could it be you
could it be you and me?
Something's missing in my life
Aww come and be
right where I need you to be
For all my life
All my life

Got my house
got my fancy car
everything's going like I planned so far
But something's not there
that should be there
I gotta find it somewhere

Since the day you left my side
I've torn myself apart
and I still can't decide
Is it you I need
or did you really hurt my pride?

Something's missing in my life
baby it's you
maybe it's you and me
If you're what's missing in my life
then baby come to me
come feel the need in me
For all my life

Something's missing in my life
could it be you
could it be you and me?
Something's missing in my life
aww come and be
right where I need you to be

You're what's missing in my life
aww come and be
right where I need you to be

karen carpenter - still crazy after all these years

I met my old lover on the street last night
He seemed so glad to see me
I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy after all these years
Oh Still crazy after all these years

I'm not the kind of girl
who tends to socialize
(To socialize)
I seem to lean on old familiar ways
And I ain't no fool for love songs
That whisper in my ears
Still crazy after all these years
Still crazy after all these years
(Crazy, I'm gonna crazy, I'm gonna crazy)

Four in the morning, crashed out, yawning
Longing my life away
I'll never worry
Why should I?
It's all gonna fade

Now I sit by my window
And I watch the cars
I fear I'll do some damage
one fine day
But I would not be convicted
by a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years
Oh, Still crazy
(Baby I'm crazy through all these years)
Still crazy
Still crazy after all these years

karen carpenter - still in love with you

I remember the first time
I laid more than eyes on you
We've been in love for a long time
and I'm still in love with you

I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
without you

I'm in perpetual motion
and I am always on the move
You must have slipped me a potion babe
Cause I'm still in love with you

I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
without you

You don't leave me any reason
I don't need no alibies
So don't ask me no questions, babewon't hand you any lies

I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
without you

And you know that tomorrow
will be different than to day
We beg, steal and borrow but
But we always stay the same

I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
without you...
(I'm still in love...)
I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
without you...
(I'm still in love...)

karen carpenter - merry christmas, darling

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make
A special one for you

Merry Christmas, darling
We're apart, that's true
But I can dream
And in my dreams
I'm Christmasing with you
Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day's a holiday
When I'm near to you
The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day
The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year too
I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you
Merry Christmas, darling
