I thought love was

Only true in fairy tales

Meant for someone else

But not for me

 

Love was out to get to me

That's the way it seems

Disappointment haunted

All my dreams

 

And 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

But the more I gave the less

I got, oh yeah

What's the use in trying

All you get is pain

When I wanted sunshine

I got rain

 

And 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

 

What's the use in trying

All you get is pain

When I wanted sunshine

I got rain

 

And 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

 

Now I'm a believer

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm a believer

I'm a believer

I'm a believer
