About Don't Fall In Love with a Dreamer

"Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer" is a song written by David Ellingson and Kim Carnes and recorded by Kenny Rogers and Carnes as a duet. It was released in March 1980 as the first single from Rogers' album Gideon. It was also recorded in Spanish as "No Te Enamores De Un Loco". The song was the only single from the album Gideon.

While recording the song in Nashville, Kenny Rogers and Kim Carnes sang facing each other with live musicians while Carnes had to improvise singing the melody in a different key than she had prepared to do when she came to the studio. The song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and No. 1 on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada.
