I know that Karen didn't write this song, but when you learn about her problems it really seems as if she could have wrote it. As with many of the Carpenters' songs - when you know more about the people behind the cheesy smiles, Karen's voice then seems to drip with a beautifully bitter irony.
I really recommend the film 'Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story' by Todd Haynes to anybody who has ever even heard one of their songs. Really wonderful movie.
