"If I Had You" is a song recorded by singer Karen Carpenter during her solo sessions in New York with producer Phil Ramone for her subsequently shelved debut solo album. In 1989, "If I Had You" was released as a Karen Carpenter solo single (featuring Richard Carpenter's remix ending), along with "The Uninvited Guest" (an outtake from the Carpenters album Made in America), also credited as a Karen Carpenter solo, as its B-side (in Japan the B-side was "Lovelines", another track from Karen's solo album, also the title track from the 1989 Carpenters Lovelines album). The single was the first single from the Carpenters' album Lovelines. As of 2019, this is also the last Carpenters single released to American radio. The single version has also appeared on numerous Carpenters compilations since
