Lyrics of
Im A Believer

Im a Believer was written by Neil Diamond and became famous through The Monkees in 1966. It topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming one of the best-selling singles at the time. The song reflects on romantic skepticism that is dispelled upon finding true love.

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 my dreams.

Then I saw her face,
now I'm a believer
Not a trace
of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, (ooooh, ah yeah)
I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a given 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, (ooooh, ah yeah)
I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried.


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, (ooooh, ah yeah)
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
I'm a believer
Said I'm a believer (I'm a believer)
Said I'm a believer (I'm a believer)
(fade out)
