Lyrics
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 given 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
Oh, 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
Ah, love was out to get me
Now, that’s the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Ah, then I saw her face, now I’m a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I’m in love
Ah, I’m a believer, I couldn’t leave her if I tried
Yes, I saw her face, now I’m a believer
No, not a trace of doubt in my mind
Said, I’m a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I’m a believer)
Said, I’m a believer, yeah (I’m a believer)
I said, I’m a believer, yeah (I’m a believer)
