The Carpenters Legacy Lives On...

The Carpenters Songs and Lyrics: Q-R

This is by no means a complete Carpenter's song list, but we intend to add more and more songs as time goes by.

Some of these songs were not actually written by the Carpenters, however many of them were made popular by the singing of Karen Carpenter and the arrangements of Richard Carpenter.

Carpenters Songs: Q - R

Rainy Days and Mondays Lyrics

Talking to myself and feeling old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around, nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothing is really wrong
Feeling like I don't belong
Walking around some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
It's nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
To run and find the one who loves me

(*) What I feel is come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hanging around, nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me

Repeat (*)

Hangin around, nothing do to but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Reason To Believe Lyrics

If I listen long enough to you
I'd find the way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight face
While I cried

(*) and still I look
To find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live
Without somebody else
Someone like you make it easy to give
Never thinking of myself

If you took the time to change my mind
I could find a way
To leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight face
While I cried

Repeat (*)

If I listen long enough to you
I'd find the way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight face
While I cried

Repeat (*)
