YOUR BABY DOESN’T LOVE YOU ANYMORE 

(Larry Weiss (m & l) )

As released by the Carpenters < Voice Of The Heart > November 1983

Also sung by:
Ruby and the Romantics 1965

Just take some loneliness
And add a tear or two
Throw in some emptiness
Mix 'till you're bluer than blue.

Keep it all under cover
Next to your broken dreams
When you're through.

Then you'll know how I
Sit alone and cry
As the nights go by
Makes you wanna die.

'Cause
Your baby doesn't love you anymore.
Your baby doesn't love you anymore.

You try to make believe
It doesn't bother you
For your own sake believe
You'll make it through.

Just make a vow every morning
That today you will change
Your point of view.

But it's all a game
That you play in vain
And you live in pain
“Cause it's very plain.

Well,
Your baby doesn't love you anymore
Your baby doesn't love you anymore

(trumpet bridge)

And there's nothin' that you can do
But just break down and cry
It's over for you.

When,
Your baby doesn't love you anymore.
Your baby doesn't love you anymore.

Your baby doesn't love you anymore.

NOTES:

The Carpenters were a talented brother/sister singer/songwriting 
duo hailing from Los Angeles CA USA. As of 2013, they had 
sold more than 100 million units (source BBC).

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. The Grammy Hall 
Of Fame recognized the Carpenters as providing music of 'lasting 
qualitative or history significance' (older than 25 years) by 
honouring them with their prestigious award.

This album < Voice Of The Heart > , was compiled by her brother
 Richard and posthumously released. It contained previously 
 unreleased tracks and this song was one of them.
This song was also released as the 'A' side of a 
A&M 45 rpm single in 1984.
The 'B' side was < Sailing On The Tide > .
