Lyrics

I thought love was on ly true in fair y tales,

meant for some one else but not for me.

Love was out to get me.

That’s the way it seemed.

Dis ap point ment haunt ed all my dreams.

Then I saw her face.

Now I’m a be liev er.

Not a trace

of doubt in my mind.

I’m in love.

I’m a be liev er.

I could n’t leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a giv in’ thing.

Seems the more I gave, the less I got.

What’s the use in try ing?

All you get is pain.

When I want ed sun shine I got rain.

Then I saw her face.

Now I’m a be liev er.

Not a trace

of doubt in my mind.

I’m in love.

I’m a be liev er.

I could n’t leave her if I tried.
