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.

I'd Lie To You For Your Love Lyrics
Kim Carnes
Frankie Miller/D & H Bellamy/Jeff Barry)
I watched you walk into the room
I wanna say this just right
If you ain't waiting for somebody special
Would you be with me tonight
I'm a doctor I'm a lawyer
I'm a movie star I'm an astronaut
And I own this bar
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love
And that's the truth
I could tell you what you wanna hear
And some secrets about myself
I could tell you you're the only one
And there could never be nobody else
I'm a doctor I'm a lawyer
I'm a movie star I'm an astronaut
And I own this bar
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love
And that's the truth
I'm a doctor I'm a lawyer
I'm a movie star I'm an astronaut
And I own this bar
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love
And that's the truth
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love
And that's the truth
