Lyrics
I thought love was only true in fairytalesMeant for someone else but not for meLove was out to get meThat’s the way it seemedDisappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face, now I’m a believerNot a trace of doubt in my mindI’m in love, I’m a believerI couldn’t leave her if I tried
I thought love was more or less a givin’ thingSeems the more I gave the less I gotWhat’s the use in trying?All you get is painWhen I needed sunshine I got rain
Then I saw her face, now I’m a believerNot a trace of doubt in my mindI’m in love, I’m a believerI couldn’t leave her if I tried
Love was out to get meNow that’s the way it seemedDisappointment haunted all my dreams
Oh then I saw her face, now I’m a believerNot a trace of doubt in my mindI’m in love, I’m a believerI couldn’t leave her if I tried
Yes I saw her face, now I’m a believerNot a trace of doubt in my mindSaid 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)
