Carole King (born 9 February 1942) is a jewish-american singer-songwriter. She was most active as a singer during the first half of the 1970s, but she was a successful songwriter for considerably longer both before and after this period. Born in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, Carole Klein (as she was then known) started out playing the piano and then moved on to singing, forming a vocal quartet called the Co-Sines in high school. While attending Queens College, King befriended Paul Simon, Neil Sedaka and Gerry Goffin. Goffin and King soon formed a songwriting partnership, eventually marrying, working in the famous Brill Building, where chart-topping hits were churned out during the 1960s.

I'd like to know you better
There's so much about you I can see
There's a love as good as gold in you
I can feel it when I'm holding you
I want to be your friend, your lover
I'd like to know you better
Being with you feels so good to me
In a world of distraught humanity
You have brought me to my sanity
How lucky we are
We seem to get along so well
Whether or not we'll stay that way
It's much too early to tell
But I'd like to know you better
Though I already feel as if I do
Meeting you has been so good for me
And if only temporarily
I want to be your friend, your lover
Yes, I'd like to know you better
