Karen Carpenter Solo Sessions - Continued

Bringing this back to the song and some of the lyrics...they really were meaningless.

I really don't mean to stare
I was only trying to memorize you there
You know I meant no harm
It's just that the starlight in your eye
Gave me a chill, nearly made me cry
I'm sure it's very clear

I don't mean to intrude
It's just that I don't want to break this mood
And if I hold your hand it's just 'cause
There's something in the things you say
That wraps me up and really puts me away
But everybody knows
I don't know what's goin' down
You're gonna ruin this poor girl from out of town
I like the way you move so much that
I guess I just lost my head

Meaning…LESS! The changes are amazing and I love the arrangement but yeah…bad lyric. Karen sells it well tho.

I always kind of imagined it as a woman on a business trip out of town, in a bar, checking out some dude, then flirting with him and picking him up (we really don’t know each other and should know better, but you’re hot and let’s hook up, in other words….)
As plausible as any scenario I’ve ever heard. Let’s go with it. 🤣🤣

I imagined it as about when Anne Boleyn met Henry VIII.
