Only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
Love was out to get to me
That’s the way it seems
Disappointment haunted
All my dreams
And 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 given thing
The more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
What’s the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
And 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
What’s the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
And 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
Then I saw her face
Now I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Now I’m a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m a believer
Then I saw her face
I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I’m a believer
Smash Mouth se atravieron a versionear el clásico de Monkees: “I’m a Believer”. Todo un éxito de los años 60. El motivo fue el tema central del film ‘Shrek’. La canción, originalmente compuesta por Neil Diamond para The Monkees, alcanzó el número 1 de la lista de singles de Estados Unidos el 31 de diciembre de 1966 y en este privelegiado lugar permaneció durante siete semanas.
