STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU

(Russell Javors (m & l) )

As sung by Karen Carpenter on her solo album 
< Karen Carpenter > 1979/80

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
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.

I don't need any reasons
I don't need no alibies
So don't ask me no questions, babe
I won't hand you any lies.

Well, I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
Without you.

(bridge)

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

Well, I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
Without you.

Well, I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
Without you.

NOTES:

The Carpenters were a talented brother/sister singer/
songwriting duo hailing from Los Angeles CA USA. Their 
distinctive soft rock sound provided contrast to the 
loud and raucous sounds of the day. As well as singing, 
Karen was accomplished at drums and brother Richard at 
piano. Sadly, the duo's career ended prematurely with 
the death of Karen Carpenter in 1983. She was 32 years old.

This song/lyric was part of a solo project with Karen 
Carpenter and Phil Ramone, produced during 1979/80.

The album containing this song was Karen's only solo album. 
Unfortunately the project was rejected as a release by some 
A&M executives. After Karen's death, the album was 
eventually released (1996).
