I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Ah, love was out to get to me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

{Refrain}
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
Seemed 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

{Refrain}

<Instrumental interlude>

Ah, love was out to get to me
Now, that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

{Refrain}

Yes, I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
There's not a tra-a-a-ace
Of doubt in my mind
Well, I'm a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ah-uh-uh

FADE

Well, I'm a believer
