Carpenters - Love Me For What I Am (Lyrics)

[@chiefnurse]

"AND IF YOUR ONLY USING ME TO FEED YOUR FANTASY, YOUR REALLY NOT INLOVE SO LET ME GO, I MUST BE FREE"............I LOVE THIS LINE..

[@brevity82]

😢

[@hannahvillalon8765]

The line; "You've got to love me for what I am for simply being me" hits a core in my heart because it is so rare to find someone who can love and accept you for who you truly are

[@janinedaylig19]

Ouch

[@jacqueline8559]

HANNAH, I truly hope that you find a true love, a person put on this Earth to love you totally and completely. I was one of the lucky ones. My husband and I met 37 years ago and fell in love that night. I'd never believed in love at first sight until then. We've been married for 32 years, parents to 2 adult sons now. We've needed to grow and change together, to respect each others Ambitions, hopes and dreams and support each other through the good times and the bad. We love each other even more now, we have been truly Blessed in Love! Good people exist but you're right, they're hard to find!!. When you do find ' the One' Love and Trust fiercely with everything you are and have!!! I pray you find that Special someone who will do the same for you, Blessings upon you.

There is not one letter in this true beautiful song out of place. Moreover, sang but the best female vocalist that the world have known (Paul McCartney)

[@elara1974]

My papa used to sing this song to us. It reminds me of how loving and caring a father and a husband he is to us. I missed my papa so much, and i know he’s watching me crying rn. I love you so much, Pa

[@jetpotz00trez]

you have a good taste in music guys.

[@purple4284]

I used to listen to this song throughout my childhood as my father loves to listen and collect CDS when he was still alive. The young version of me seems to like the melody, but growing up, and knowing the lyrics of this masterpiece hits differently. I'm a people pleaser, trying to be someone that I'm not just to fit in and to be liked by many people. But through this song, I realized how important I am; that I shouldn't be defined by what other people may think about me, that I should care less because at the end of the day, I only have myself that I should worry about.

Simply beautiful song ,reminds me those happy memories during my high school days.Thanks.😀❤

[@haileyko7997]

I never experienced how love really is, but I don't know why I feel so moved the 1st time I listened to this song. Well, I hope this song guides me as I go through life. ONE OF THE BESTS!

[@artistevivien]

I cannot believe I've lived nearly three decades without listening to this masterpiece.

[@pamelajones9698]

Me too!

[@margaretkibitt4666]

I didn’t hear it until today. I am a fan of The Carpenters. Saw them at the Hollywood Bowl in Summer 1971.

[@mariajolinadelgado8979]

it's so rare to find someone who will accept you for who you are 🙂. but if you already have one you must keep them🤗😚

[@skryvazena6548]

The lyric is perfection. I was in that place, I did not meet expectations. I knew I should let go but it was very hard for me, too. If I've never been in that situation, I would never know how it felt. I learned something, love can be so painful.

[@chrisanne757]

Listening to this right night with tears, we broke up because I wanted to be loved for who and what I am, so I asked him if I had to be what he wanted me to be just to claim that I was ideal for him, and he replied yes, and it shattered my heart, so I sent him this song, but he just let me go and freed me right away:((.

[@jeanmaecanete5341]

Its okay that he left you because if he really loves you, he will accept who really you are! You can find someone who will love you, who will accept for being who and what you are, your flaws and so on. Don't settle for less! You are not just a stone that will throw anywhere, you are a stone that should be taking care of. Godbless you!

[@janchristoperogawa7741]

It's his loss. Don't change for someone just because it suits his fantasies. Just know that you are loved.

[@monamielgupit5910]

BALIK ANG CHILDHOOD, AKALA KO DATI AMBADUY SOBRA GANDA PALA NANG MEANING SOBRA SMOOTH! SALAMAT SA OLD ARTIST

[@christianmunda2456]

Im a guy 18 years old But Old music hits different ❤️💯 Especially this One "You've got to love me for what I'am"

[@apriljoypanulde7385]

It's 2023 but I still love this song❤️❤️❤️

[@mariechristinedeguit8824]

"And if you're only using me, to fed ypur fantasy You're really not in love, so let me go, I must be free" hit different. I really hope that, this love I have now, is the love I've been waiting for. April 8, 2024.

[@MyOCS_andLucas]

Remember, If you are reading this, Love yourself and other people who are themselves. And be open, To yourself and others. Be free. For the lord has gave us all our freedom.

[@sgaf7001]

Some people are just in love with the idea of dating someone like this in a place like that in a certain situation they imagined and sometimes, you are just the person available at that time. I think you can feel how different it is, I did. As much as I want to be appreciated, I won't claim such a thing as love.

[@andreadiaz1199]

It's the classics that makes our hearts flutter:-*

[@WAM3601]

Absolutely Beautiful, Inspirational, Profound and True Lyrics 💯 I must be free 🌈 What I am I have to be ☮️

"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" :((

I'm only 18,but I still love this song.

[@jesseldelarosa2131]

"and IF you're only using me to feed your fantasy" hit me so hard 😭

[@emillion4470]

Karen at the height of her vocal powers. Clear diction, perfect phrasing, gentle almost whispered then strong power notes and that sustained note at the end. Mixes like where no singer can hide behind.

[@MiguelVale-j3q]

Napakagandang kanta. Palagi ko siyang pinapatugtog. 😊

My first favorites song...of my entire younger years. Carpenters fanatic.🎧🎤🎶❤😍😘

[@tomasmariamaya.8189]

I will wait for one person that will accept me for what I am, what I could offer not just materials things but will accept me together with my weaknesses❤

[@femilyndaguio8250]

True … someone also used yo feed his fantasy

[@duedate2811]

I compromise with the person i love.. We will meet half way and given it will be for the betterment of our relationship. What we should master is how to look for signs with a toxic partner. I read a lot of books, i listened to a lot of testimonials coming from different point of views and from there i listed the things or traits that are negotiable and non negotiable to me. At the end of the day it is still my decision to make. It saves me lot of heartaches and time.

[@jaysoncubo3604]

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😭 that line is so heart breaking💔

[@junsonbongbonga5564]

[@美麗貝拉]

If you’re going to fall in love with me then please love all of me. Don’t just love the side of me that’s sweet, the side of me that’s caring, gentle and happy. Fall in love with my hard edges too, with my grumpy moods, my sad nights, my jealousy attitude, my deepest insecurities, not just my deepest desires.❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@owenlegaspi636]

Great lyrics. A great singer.. Perfect.. So meaningful and hearfelt song..💙

[@airaadvincula2612]

Love Me for What I Am 🎶🎶 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 pleases 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 everything 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 if 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
