i m a believer 1979 version

Neil Diamond

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
