Love Me For What I Am Lyrics


We fell in love
On the first night that we met
Together we've been happy
I have very few regretsThe ordinary problems
Have not been hard to face
But lately little changes
Have been slowly taking placeYou're always finding
Something is wrong in what I do
But you can't rearrange my life
Because it pleases youYou'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 beAnd if you're only using me
To feed your fantasy
You're really not in love
So let me go, I must be freeIf what you want
Isn't natural for me
I won't pretend to keep you

What I am, I have to beThe picture of perfection
Is only on your mind
For all your expectations
Love can never be designedWe either take each other
For everything we are
Or leave the life we've made behind
And make another startYou'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 beAnd if you're only using me
To feed your fantasy
You're really not in love
So let me go, I must be freeAnd if you're only using me
To feed your fantasy
You're really not in love
So let me go, I must be freeYou're really not in love
So let me go, I must be free

The Carpenters were a vocal and instrumental duo, consisting of siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter. Though often referred to by the public as "The Carpenters", the duo's official name on authorized recordings and press materials is simply Carpenters without the definite article. During a period in the 1970s when louder and wilder rock was in great demand, Richard and Karen produced a distinctively soft musical style that made them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

The Carpenters' melodic pop charted a record-breaking score of hit recordings on the American Top 40 and Adult Contemporary charts, becoming leading sellers in the soft rock, easy listening and adult contemporary genres. The Carpenters had three #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and fifteen #1 hits on the Adult Contemporary Chart (see The Carpenters discography). In addition, they had twelve top 10 singles (including their #1 hits). To date, The Carpenters' album and single sales total more than 100 million units.

During their fourteen-year career, The Carpenters recorded eleven albums, five of which contained top 10 singles (Close to You, Carpenters, A Song for You, Now & Then and Horizon), thirty-one singles, five television specials, and one short-lived television series. They toured in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, the Netherlands and Belgium. Their recording career ended with Karen's death on February 4, 1983. Karen passed away after cardiac arrest due to complications of anorexia nervosa. Extensive news coverage of the circumstances surrounding her death increased public awareness of the consequences of eating disorders.

Their first recordings were not successful, and the recording studio that was recording them, dropped them. That's when their 'savior' came in. Herb Alpert of A&M records heard a couple of their songs and said that he felt that they had good potential. Thanks to him, and his ability to see/hear quality when it appears, we had the GREAT performers of The Carpenters.
