Text: Neil Diamond. I'm A Believer (1979 Version).
:
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Paper houses made to stand with paper nails
That's all I thought that love could ever be
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine
I got rain
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in your mind
I'm in love
And I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Not if I tried
Thought that love
Was more or less a givin' thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
Like a flower that grows,
Love's like a living thing
Living things don't like to be forgot
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face
I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I'm in love
Yeah I'm a believer
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Paper houses made to stand with paper nails
That's all I thought that love could ever be
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine
I got rain
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in your mind
I'm in love
And I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Not if I tried
Thought that love
Was more or less a givin' thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
Like a flower that grows,
Love's like a living thing
Living things don't like to be forgot
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face
I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I'm in love
Yeah I'm a believer
