This song is a little pop gem from the long unreleased solo record 
Karen Carpenter made when Richard was in a recovery center. 
I don't know who wrote it, but it's a tasty, jangly tune. 
(The recording has Peter Cetera on backing vocals)

Makin' Love In The Afternoon- from the Karen Carpenter solo LP


G   A7   D  Dsus  2x

G                  Gmaj7        Em                  Bm            C     Cm
Makin' love in the afternoon        Makin' love to another Beatle tune
And I know you're feelin' the same way too
G              Gmaj7        Em                         Bm          C     Cm
All alone on a sunny day             On our own and we had to get away
                                        
And I know that I couldn't live without 

G      A7                  D  Dsus  D
You,   Don't ever leave me alone
             G    A7                 D  Dsus D
Baby without you, I'd never make it alone

Makin' love on a sunny day
Makin' love in a very special way
And I hope you're feelin' the way I do

When you're here, When you're next to me, 
When you're near it's the only place to be 
Cause I know that I couldn't live without you 

Don't ever leave me alone
Livin' without you, I couldn't make it alone 

C      D              Em
Why wait for tomorrow?
A7                 D
Tomorrow may never come
C      D              Em
Why wait for the evening shadows?
F                         C
Something behind me, will always remind me 
C      D              Em
To wait for the morning 
A7                     D
Knowing you'll be here soon
C      D              Em
And then we can be together
F           C
In the afternoon

      G                             A7                D    Dsus  D
Makin'love (Makin'love)      Makin' love in the afternoon
      G                             A7                D    Dsus  D
Makin' love (Makin' love)    Makin' love in the afternoon

Why wait for tomorrow? etc, ...
