“I’m a Believer (live)”
Lyrics Permalink
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Ah, love was out to get me (Do do-do, do-do)
That’s the way it seemed (Do do-do, do-do)
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
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
Seems the more I gave, the less I got
Ah, what’s the use in tryin’? (Do do-do, do-do)
All you get is pain (Do do-do, do-do)
When I needed sunshine, I got rain
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
Micky: One time.
[break]
Love was out to get me (Do do-do, do-do)
That’s the way it seemed (Do do-do, do-do)
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
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
Yes, I saw her face
Now I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Well, I’m a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m a believer
Well, I’m a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m a believer
Then I saw her face-ah
I’m a believer
I couldn’t leave her if I tried, tried, tried
Micky: Thank you, 54 Below!
