Robert Wyatt:I'm A Believer

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
