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.

The Arrangement Lyrics
Kim Carnes
Dennis Polen)
He drives her all day long
To fancy bars and restaurants
She acts like nothing's wrong
She satisfies his needs and wants
He will drive her
She will drive him crazy with demands
Until he takes all that he can stand
She believes in gold
And he believes he's lost his soul
She knows she's getting old
She's lost her vision and her goals
She hires gentlemen
For pleasure and for company
He wants her to himself
His love is blind and she can't see
But he will drive her
She will drive him crazy with demands
Until he takes all that he can stand
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
He wants a single lover
She wants a couple more
He'd like to change her life but
She does not know what for
He feels it's time to leave her
She knows she broke his heart
She kind of fell in love and
He kind of fell apart
But he will drive her
She will drive him crazy with demands
Until he takes all that he can stand
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
