THE CARPENTERS - LOVE ME FOR WHAT I AM LYRICS
THIS IS FOR YOU HONEY....HAPPY MONTHSARY!!!

We fell in love
On the first night that we met
Together
We've been happy
I have very few regrets
The ordinary problems
Have not been hard to face
But lately little changes
Have been slowly taking place
You're always finding something
Is wrong in what I do
But you can't rearrange my life
Because it please you

You've got to love me
For what I am
For simply being me
Don't love me
For what you intend
Or hope that I will be
And if you're only using me
To feed your fantasy

You're really not in love
So let me go
I must be free

If what you want
Isn't natural for me
I won't pretend to keep you
What I am I have to be
The picture of perfection
Is only in your mind
For all your expectations
Love can never be designed
We either take each other
For ev'rything we are
Or leave the life
We've made behind
And make another start

You've got to love me
For what I am
For simply being me
Don't love me
For what you intend
Or hope that I will be

And if you're only using me
To feed your fantasy
You're really not in love
So let me go
I must be free

And if you're only using me
To feed your fantasy
You're really not in love
So let me go
I must be free

You're really not in love
So let me go
I must be free


The Carpenters - Biography


FORMED: 1968, New Haven, CT
DISBANDED: 1983

Richard Carpenter
1946-

As a pianist and producer, Richard's is a rare talent. It was by his talent and ability that the foundation was laid for the subsequent success of the Carpenter's Musical Family. When we think of Carpenters it is most likely that we would identify Karen's amazing voice as the dominate "sound" of the group, however, it was Richard's contributions which truly allowed them to achieve that unique sound. A good example of this is the album "Lovelines". It includes some Karen's solo works with Phil Ramone in 1979. While Karen's voice is as clear and beautiful as ever, the tracts produced by Mr. Phil Ramone do not have the same quality, or true "Carpenters Sound" as those produced by Richard. Richard and Karen's relationship to their music is as inseparable as that of "Cinematography" and "Soundtrack" to a motion picture.

Karen Carpenter
1950-1983

Karen possessed every bit as much talent as Richard, however, hers was a talent that did not show at an early age like her brother's. Her first musical interest was as a drummer and it wasn't until later that her pure, natural vocal talent surfaced. A record company producer was the first to realize that Karen possessed a unique, and utterly beautiful voice, likening it to the finest of musical instruments. The most fascinating thing about Karen's voice is that it is completely pure and natural, without the benefit of formal training. Richard's talent was the foundation for Carpenters, but Karen's wonderful voice quickly became the reason for the group's existence. Karen passed away at the age of 32 on February 4th, 1983. She died of heart failure which was caused by complications from a long battle with anorexia nervosa. When Karen's heart stopped, millions more throughout the world were shattered with it.

Carpenters
1969-

After being rejected by other record producers for being too "Soft" for the market at that time, Richard and Karen's demo-tape attracted the attention of Herb Alpert, one of the manager of the A&M(Alpert & Moss)record company. "Carpenters" signed their first recording contract with A&M in April of 1969, and began a long and fruitful relationship with Herb and the company. They made their debut in November of the same year and with only their second release, "Close to You", reached the top of the American charts. In a career which saw them win 3 Grammy's, Carpenters never broke up, though Karen has gone...

What a beautiful song! I did not know that this was the favorite/theme song of my brother who passed away last week (Philippines). I managed to help find his ex girlfriend after many years, at his deathbed, after they talked and she kissed him, his tear fell down from his cheek, and when she turned around, he gasped his last breath...he's gone. In his sufferings, he was only waiting for that special person in his life. May his soul rest in peace. I love you brother Jorge.

@Lor2246 i'm sorry if people hurt you......i don't know your situation but maybe forgiving and staying away from them will make your life a lot better...life is too short to worry about other's mistakes...worry about yours if you do make one, but maybe you're one of the perfect one who do not make mistake...take care and GOD BLESS>>

[Lor2246]

@miamorfully There are people who truly believe it is okay to make mistakes, as long as they're not being caught. Brag the reason they're not being caught is because they're smart and they have people who can tweak the system for them. People that also reminds me of Isaiah 5:20-23. I never notice how fitting and lovely is this song in my situation, until I heard it from Martin Nievera singing this song.
