Lyrics
I thought love was only true in fairytales
Meant for someone else but not for me Love was out to get me That’s the way it seemed Disappointment haunted all my dreamsThen 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 triedI thought love was more or less a givin’ thing
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 rainThen 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 triedLove was out to get me
Now that’s the way it seemed Disappointment haunted all my dreamsOh 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 triedYes I saw her face, now I’m a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind Said I’m a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I’m a believer) (I’m a believer) Said I’m a believer, yeah (I’m a believer) Said I’m a believer, yeah (I’m a believer)
