I thought love was only true in fairy tales

Meant for someone else but not for me

Love was out to get me

That's the way it seemed

Disappointment haunted all of 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 giving thing

Seems the more I gave the less I got

What's the use in tryin'

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 my mind

I'm in love

I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried

Oh

Oh, love was out to get me

Now, that's the way it seemed

Disappointment haunted all of 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

Said, I'm a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I'm a believer)

Said, I'm a believer, yeah (I'm a believer)

I said, I'm a believer, yeah (I'm a believer)

Well, you just taught me something - I always thought the line was "Disappointment heartache on my dreams" - which kind of makes no sense, now that I think about it. Thank you!

Disappointment heartache... it still works, sorta... Also it's I'm a Believer, not "just a believer" but wasn't sure if that was purposeful? Regardless, another great story. :-)

Debra Fried's avatar

Yeah, I was taking liberties with the "just."

It takes cojones to mess around with Neil Diamond's lyrics :-o But that's what makes you a great writer
