Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit, nothin' ever seems to fit
Hangin' around, nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

    @bbarneyco - agreed. Too bad she couldn't have seen herself the way everyone else saw her. Amazing voice. Amazing talent.

    I'm a guy who loves Queen, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Journey, Kansas and Boston...but I'm a sucker for anything by the Carpenters. Had a big crush on Karen. Oh if only she hadn't succumbed to that eating disorder!
