The Monkees vs. Smash Mouth



I’m A Believer
The Monkees
I thought love was only true
In fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
Oh 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 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
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried

Oh 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

Then I saw her face
Now I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I’m a believer
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I’m a believer
I’m a believer
I’m a believer
I’m a believer

 


I’m A Believer
Smash Mouth
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
The 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 believer
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Now I’m a believer
Then I saw her face
Now I’m a believer
Then I saw her face
Now I’m a believer
Now I’m a believer

  1. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!! Yeah, Smash Mouth did a decent job with the song, but there is nothing like the original.

  2. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Grace!!! Whoa, I had heard that there are a few who did not love The Monkees, but I never wanted to believe it.

  3. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Yes, having a crush on Davy Jones does count for a lot. Well, at least that is what I've been told (by Arlynda).
