<poem>I thought love was only true in fairy tales | |||
Meant for someone else but not for me | |||
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 givin' thing | |||
Seems the more I gave the less I got | |||
What's the use in tryin'? | |||
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 | |||
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 | |||
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer | |||
Not a trace of doubt in my mind | |||
And I'm a believer yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah | |||
I'm a believer</poem> | |||
