I was listening to this song this morning and a thought occurred to me: As far as I know, this is the only Carpenters song written by women (Phyllis Brown and Juanita Curiel) for a female singer... It's an interesting song, because of the lyrics - sort of like "Stand By Your Man" for an 80's audience. Karen never sang such lyrics before...
Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman
To understand the weakness of her man
It's gonna the strength of this woman
To keep fighting for the loving of her man
And darling, when you been satisfied
And it isn't new to you no more
Think of me,
I'll be here alone
Waiting for you to find
your way back home
I suspect that after hearing the songs she sang on her solo album that Richard felt it was time to let her sing more "grown-up" lyrics...
