木匠兄妹由著名的歌星卡朋特与她哥哥理查德·卡朋特组成，卡伦·卡朋特1950年生于美国康耐狄格州，从小在哥哥的影响下学习乐器，成了一名鼓手，大她三岁的哥哥理查德是个非常有才华的青年，担任钢琴伴奏和制作人，并创作了大量歌曲。后来在著名经纪人德纽文的帮助下，进入了美国流行乐坛。1970年一曲《靠近你》（Close To You）荣登排行榜首，这使木匠兄妹一炮走红，70年代中他们不断有佳作问世，成为无数美国青年的偶像，尼克松总统称卡朋特兄妹是最出色的美国青年。

No one in the world

Ever had a love as sweet as my love

For nowhere in the wolrd

Could there be a boy as true as you love

All my love

I give gladly to you

All your love

You give gladly to me

Tell me why then

Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other

We go on hurting each other

Making each other cry

Hurting each other

Without ever knowing why

Close than the leaves

On a weepin' willow, baby, we are

Closer dear are we

Than the simple letters "A" and "B" are

All my life

I could love only you

All your life

You could love only me

Tell me why than

Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other

We go on hurting each other

Making each other cry

Hurting each other

Without ever knowing why

Can't we stop hurting each other

Can't we stop hurting each other

Gotta stop hurting each other

Gotta stop hurting each other

Making each other cry

Making each other cry

Breaking each other's heart

Breaking each other's heart

Tearing each other apart

Tearing each other apart
