Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945 in Los Angeles, California) is an American singer-songwriter. She is noted for her distinctive, raspy voice which she attributes to many hours spent singing in smoky bars and clubs. Carnes was a member of New Christy Minstrels from 1966 until 1970. Kenny Rogers was also a member, and during this time Carnes met and married Dave Ellingson, with whom she would write most of her songs. For a short while in the early 1970s, she and Ellingson formed the folk duo Kim and Dave, which was not successful.

Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer Lyrics
Kim Carnes
Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
Just look at you sittin' there
You never looked better than tonight
And it'd be so easy
To tell you I'd stay
Like I've done so many times
I was so sure
This would be the night
You'd close the door
And wanna stay with me
And it'd be so easy
To tell you I'd wait
Like I've done so many times
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think
You've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
Cause he'll break you every time
So put out the light
And just hold on
Before we say goodbye
Now it's morning
And the phone rings
And you say you've gotta
Get your things together
You've gotta leave
Before you change your mind
And if you knew what
I was thinkin' I'd turn around
If you'd just ask me one more time
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think
You've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
Cause he'll break you every time
So put out the light
And just hold on
Before we say goodbye
