Lyrics:

This was a Number One hit, released at the end of 1966.
It was sung by Micky Dolenz and written by Neil Diamond.
It appeared on the second Monkees album, More of the Monkees.
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
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a givin' 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
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
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
And I'm a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Said i'm a believer
