[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] And then I saw her face Now I'm a believer And 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 given thing 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 [Chorus] And then I saw her face Now I'm a believer And not a trace Of doubt in my mind I'm in love I'm a believer I couldn't leave her If I tried [Bridge] What's the use in trying? All you get is pain When I wanted sunshine I got rain [Chorus] And then I saw her face Now I'm a believer And not a trace Of doubt in my mind I'm in love I'm a believer I couldn't leave her If I tried [Outro] 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 Now I'm a believer Then I saw her face Now I'm a believer Not a trace Of doubt in my mind I'm a believer
