Biography:
The Carpenters were an American vocal and instrumental duo consisting of siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter. With their light, airy melodies and meticulously crafted, clean arrangements, the duo stood in direct contrast with the excessive, gaudy pop/rock of the '70s; yet they became one of the most popular artists of the decade, scoring 12 Top Ten hits, including three number one singles.
Karen Carpenter's calm, often somber voice was the most distinctive element of their music

[Verse 1]
C G
We fell in love on the first night that we met.
Em Am
Together we've been happy, I've had very few regrets.
F Em
The ordinary problems have not been hard to face,
Am G
but lately little changes have been slowly taking place.
Em Am
You're always finding something is wrong in what I do,
F G
but you can't re-arrange my life because it please you.
G7
You've got to...
[Chorus]
C G Am
Love me for what I am for simply being me.
Dm G
Don't love me for what you intend, or hope that I will be;
Em Am
and if you're only using me to feed your fantasy,
Dm G
you're really not in love so let me go.
G7 C
I must be free.
[Verse 2]
If what you want is unnatural 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 ought to take each other for everything we are.
Or leave a life we've made behind, and make another start.
You've got to...
[Chorus]
C G Am
Love me for what I am for simply being me.
Dm G
Don't love me for what you intend, or hope that I will be;
Em Am
and if you're only using me to feed your fantasy,
Dm G
you're really not in love so let me go.
G7 C
I must be free.
[Outro]
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.
