Robert Wyatt - I'm a Believer lyrics

I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else, but not for me Ah, love was out to get me That's the way it seemed 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 giving thing It seems the more I gave, the less I got 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 my mind I'm in love I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried Love was out to get me Now that's the way it seemed 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 Oh, I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried I'm a believer I'm a believer I'm a believer (fade out)
