The Monkees - I'm a Believer

[Umma]

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 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.

by Neil Diamond

I think Bob Rafelson, director of 5 Easy Pieces and one of the producers of Easy Rider, was one of the producers of the TV show. It was sort of a takeoff on the Beatles phenomenon, and at the time, I thought it was lame and teeny-bop (the phrase at the time). But they did assemble a great group of songwriters... I still think Valerie was a pretty good tune...and I can see why Umma likes Im a Believer

I haven't even heard this song in ages, but it's still in my head!
