Lyrics:

Smash Mouth’s version of “I’m a Believer”: written by Neil Diamond and originally played by The Monkees.
It got a popularity resurgence once included on the Shrek soundtrack.
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

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
And 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
More I gave, the less I got, oh yeah

What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine, I got rain

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
And 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 tryin'?
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine, I got rain

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
And 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
Now I'm a believer
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm a believer
Now I'm a believer
