"Every time you come near, cause just like me they long to be close to you."
From the song close to you by the Carpenters. It was their first major hit.
""Close to You" had been written in 1964, first turning up on the debut album of Dionne Warwick. Far from being a stiff, it became a number-one record for the Carpenters in the summer of 1970. With their royalties, they bought an apartment building and named it -- what else? -- "Close to You."
The Carpenters blossomed into one of the most successful pop groups in the history of the recording industry, scoring more than a dozen major hits in the seventies. They earned three Grammy Awards and a reputation for crafting some of the best sound recordings ever made. They hosted a short-lived variety series on NBC in 1971, and at the request of President Nixon, they performed at a White House state dinner on May 1, 1973. They toured internationally throughout the mid-seventies, and from 1976 to 1980 the pair hosted five ABC television specials.
History: http://www.superseventies.com/1970_8singles.html
"On February 4, 1983, Karen Carpenter died in her parents' home of cardiac arrest, resulting from her long struggle with anorexia nervosa. Her story was presented in a highly rated made-for-television movie in 1988. The posthumous album Lovelines drew critical notice for its inclusion of four tracks Karen had recorded for an unreleased 1980 solo album. In 1994 a Carpenters tribute album, If I Were a Carpenter, was released, featuring contributions by Sonic Youth, Sheryl Crow, Matthew Sweet, and the Cranberries. Around the same time that fall, the Karen and Richard Carpenter Performing Arts Center at Cal State University in Long Beach opened. "
OR maybe someone just sprinkled bread crumbs in your hair.
