I’m a Believer (1979 Version) lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Paper house that's made to stand with paper nails
That's all I thought that love could ever be

[Bridge 1]
What's the use in trying
All you 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 your mind
I'm in love
And I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Not if I tried

[Verse 2]
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 livin' thing
Living things don't like to be forgot
[Bridge 2]
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I am in love
I'm a believer
I am in love, yeah
I'm a believer
