Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I thought love was only true in fairy tales

Meant for someone else but not for me

[PreChorus]

Love was out to get me

That's the way it seemed

Disappointment haunted all my dreams

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

I thought love was more or less a givin' thing

Seems the more I gave the less I got

[PreChorus]

What's the use in tryin'?

All ya get is pain

When I needed sunshine I got rain

[Chorus]

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

[PreChorus]

Love was out to get me

No, that's the way it seemed

Disappointment haunted all my dreams

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Yes, I saw her face

Now I'm a believer

Well 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)

Said I'm a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah (I'm a believer)
