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

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
