I’m a Believer
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else, but not for me
Ah, love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
I thought love was, more or less, a giving thing
It seems the more I gave, the less I got
What's the use in trying?
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine, I got rain
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Love was out to get me
Now that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
Oh, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
