Neil Diamond - Ive Been This Way Before

Album:

I thought love was only true
in fairy tales

and 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 given thing

seems the more I gave
the less I got.
What's the use in tryin' ?
All you get is pain.
When I need sunshine I got rain.
