Big Bright Beautiful World Lyrics

[Shrek Voiceover:]
Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek, who lived with his parents in a
bog by a tree. It was a pretty nasty
place, but he was happy because ogres like nasty places.

On his birthday, the little ogre's parents sat him down to talk, just as all ogre's parents
had for hundreds of years before.

[Mama Ogre:]
Listen son, you're growing up so quickly,
Growing up, bigger by the day.

[Papa Ogre:]
Although we want you here,
The rules are very clear--

[Mama Ogre:]
Now you're seven...

[Papa Ogre:]
Now you're seven...

[Both:]
So it's time to go away.

[Papa Ogre:]
Your Mama packed a sandwich for your trip.

[Mama Ogre:]
Your Papa packed your boots in case of snow.

[Both:]
You're gonna make us proud.
No backing up allowed.

[Mama Ogre:]
Just keep walking...

[Papa Ogre:]
Just keep walking...

[Both:]
and you'll find somewhere to go.

It's a big bright beautiful world,

with happiness all around.
Its peaches and cream
and every dream comes true...
But not for you.
 It's a big, bright, beautiful world,
with possibilities everywhere.
And just around the bend,
there's a friend or two...
But not for you.

[Mama Ogre:]
You're ugly son,
which means that life is harder.
People hate the things they cannot understand.

[Papa Ogre:]
And when they look at us,
they tend to make a fuss.

[Mama Ogre:]
Burn our houses down.

[Papa Ogre:]
and chase us...

[Both:]
Off our land.

[Papa Ogre:]
It's important that you find a cozy cesspit.

[Mama Ogre:]
A place no one would ever dare to tread.

[Both:]
And if they happen by,
make sure you terrify them.

[Mama Ogre:]
If you don't, son...

[Papa Ogre:]
If you don't, son...

[Both:]
Then you'll surely wind up dead.

[Mama Ogre:]
Good-bye!

[Papa Ogre:]
Good-bye!

[Mama Ogre:]
 Watch out for men with pitch-forks!

[Shrek Voiceover:]
And so the little ogre went off and found a muddy patch of swampland, far, far away from
the world that despised him. And
there he stayed for many years. Tucked away, and all alone...which was just the way he
liked it.

[Shrek:]
Keep your big bright beautiful world.
I'm happy where I am, all alone.
I got all I need,
so read the stinkin' sign!

Keep your big bright beautiful world.

I party on my own anyway.
Doin' what I can
with a one-man conga line.

Yeah, your big bright beautiful world

is all teddy bears and unicorns.
Take your fluffy fun,
and shove it where the sun don't shine!

I prefer a life like this--

it's not that complicated.
Sure, I'm fated to be lonely,
and I'm destined to be hated.
If you read the books, they say
it's why I was created.
But I don't care,
'cause being liked
is grossly overrated.

Who needs a big bright beautiful world?

I got my own little patch of the world!
It's not a big bright beautiful world,
but it's mine! Alone!

It's mine!
And it's mine!
All mine!
 Story of My Life Lyrics

[Guard]
(Spoken)
Alright, when I call your name step forward. Pinocchio, the puppet.

[Pinocchio]
(Spoken)
I'm not a puppet I'm a real boy.
(Nose grows and he laughs)

[Guard]
(Spoken)
That's your patch of mud down there.

[Pinocchio]
(Spoken)
Oh, dopped on a swamp. Man, I tell you sometimes being a fairytale creature sucks pine sap.

[Pinocchio]
Life is disappointing,
Whoa is what I know.
Outted by my nose,
That's just how it goes,
For poor Pinocchio.
Story of my life,
Always doomed to fail.
Cheated by a fox,
Swallowed by a whale.
That's the story of my life, oh yeah,
That's the story of my life.

[Shoemaker's Elf]
Strife is never ending.

Banished from the town

 Don't Let Me Go Lyrics

DONKEY:
Hey, hey, hey! You gotta let me go with you!
You don't know what it's like to be considered a freak!
Well maybe you do.
But that's why we gotta stick together!
No, no, no! Don't speak, don't speak, don't speak!

Just hear me out! I might surprise you.

I'll be a friend, when others despise you.
Don't roll your eyes! Stop with the mopin'.
You need a pal! My calendar's open!

I'll bring you soup, when you feel congested.

I'll bail you out, when you get arrested!
I got your back, wha-wha-what, when things get scary.
And I'll shave it, when it gets hairy!

Don't let me go!

Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!
You need me!
You need me!

I'll treat you right, and never get shoddy.

If you kill a man, I'll hide the body!
So what do you say' you’re not responding...
I think we're bonding!

Don't let me go.

Don't let me go.
Don't let me go!
You need me.
 You and me, we belong together.
Like butter and grits,
Like kibbles and bits,
Like yin and yang,
Stern and Trang,
Like Eng and Chang, attached at the hip
But not an old lady hip that might break
I'm gonna be on you like a fat kid on cake!

DONKEY (spoken):
Like Cupid and Psyche, like pop rocks and Mikey,
we'll stick together like that Velcro stuff, I'm the fuzzy side;
you'll be the spiky.
Ooh! Like little kids and pajamas with those funny things at
the bottom, you know, feeties.
Like donuts and' oh, what goes with donuts'

DONKEY:
Donuts and diabetes!

Don't let me go!

Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!
Hold me! Hug me! Take me, please!
Na-na-na-na-na-na, please don't let me go!
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I
need you, I need you,
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I
need you, I need you, I need you!
Don't let me go, Go! Go! Don't let me g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-go!
 I Know It's Today Lyrics

YOUNG FIONA,
(Spoken)
Settle in girls. It's story time! Isn't this fun?
It's like a sleep over, but instead of a pillow fight,
There is an insane dragon who incenterates things.
Now where were we? Oh right?

(Sung)
There's a princess
In a tower
Oh my gosh, that's just like me
Poor Rapunzel
Needs a haircut
But the witch won't set her free
She passes time by singing
Like someone else I know
As years go by she sits and waits?
As years go by' Uh oh
A torturous existence
I don't remember this part!
She wishes she were dead
Skip ahead skip ahead!
But in the end Rapunzel finds a millionaire
The prince is good at climbing and braiding golden hair!

So I know, he'll appear

Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight
My white knight, and his steed
Will look just like these pictures!
It won't be long now, I guarantee!
Day number 8423.
I know it’s today
I know it’s today

TEENAGE FIONA:
(Spoken)
Oh here's a good one! It's a classic!

(Sung)
There's a princess
In a coma
Glad it’s her instead of me.
Pretty maiden
In a glass box
How I wonder does she pee?
Blah blah blah, poison apple
Boring boring evil queen
Filler filler, been there, read that!
 Seven shorties on the scene.
Skip ahead, skip ahead'
But in the end the princess wakes up with a start
The prince is good at kissing
And melting Snow White's heart!

So I know, he'll appear

And his armor will be blinding!
As shining as his perfect teeth and manly hose
He'll propose
On one knee
And our prenupt will be binding!
About time we set the wedding date!
Day number'958.
I know it's today.
He'll show up today....

FIONA:
...ay...
There's a princess
Any princess
Take your pick, they're all like me
Not exactly, I'm still waiting
they're living happily
Ever after better get here
I want love in seconds flat
No one needs these middle bits
Oops, did I do that'

Cut the villains, cut the vamping

Cut this fairytale
Cut the peril and the pitfalls
Cut the puppet and the whale
Cut the monsters, cut the curses
Keep the intro, cut the verses
And the waiting, the waiting, the waiting, the waiting
The waiting!

But I know, he'll appear

Though I seem a bit bipolar
And I'm a vandal now as well, though he won't mind
I'm a find, I'm a catch
And a very gifted bowler!
It won't be long now, I guarantee!
Day number'

Are you there God?

It's me Fiona

ALL FIONAS:
 It's me Fiona!

Now I know, he'll appear

Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight
My white knight, my knight and his steed
Will look just like these pictures!
It won't be long now, I guarantee!

YOUNG FIONA
Day number 23

TEENAGE FIONA
Day number 958

FIONA:
Day number 4823

YOUNG FIONA

Shrek

You know, this may turn into the longest day of my entire life

Donkey
(spoken)
Oo! I got the perfect remedy for that!

Shrek
(spoken)
Donkey please no. I am begging you-

Donkey
Sing a song
Yes a travel song
when you gotta go somewhere
'Cause the fun is getting there.
Yeah. Oh what the heck, I must confess
I love a road trip!

Sing a song.
Hit the trail.
Forget the maps. Forget the guides.
Before ya know it, you've made strides with me.

And I know - all I need - all along

is a path - and a pal - and a song,
so I'm singin',
and I'm pallin' with you,
(spoken)
See? It makes the time go by faster!

Shrek
(sings)
Why me?
Why me?

Donkey
 This is nice.

Shrek
Tell me what was my crime?

Donkey
We are strolling
(sees Puss in Boots walking by)

Shrek
He's as chatty as a parrot.
More annoying than a mime.

Donkey
Hey, look, a cat who's wearing boots!
That's crazy!

Shrek
Why me?
Why me?
A simple answer would be fine

Donkey
This is good cardio

Shrek
Won't someone please

What did I do to deserve this?
Honestly
This ass 'o mine is asinine
WHY ME?!!

Oh man, what could be better than this?!
 Shrek
Why me?

A simple answer would be fine
Won't somebody please send me a sign?

Sing a song!
Hit the road!
It's the way

Before ya know it, you've
gained ground with me!

Shrek
What did I do to deserve this?
Honestly...

Donkey
And I know
All I need
All along is a path

You didn't knock when you entered, baby
You didn't wipe your feet.

This is How A Dream Comes True Lyrics

[Fiona]
This is how a dream comes true.
This is how I pictured him.
Climbing in to rescue me.
This was always mean to be.

This is how a scene must go.

Standing there the light just so.
Then you smile and gaze at me.
Take my hand on bended knee.
Bended knee.
Bended knee!

So even though we only met.

Somehow I always knew,
it would look like this
When dreams come true.

[Donkey]
Shrek!

[Fiona]
Hey, what are you doing?

[Shrek]
I have to save my ass.

[Fiona]
Easy i’m in heels!

I've longed for this my whole life long.

and now you’re doing it all wrong!
Got a rope a steed awaits.
That’s what every story sates.
Riding over rough terrain.
Pass the dragon you have slayed.
You have slayed
you have slayed

[Shrek]
Its on my to do list.

[Fiona]
This is how I pictured it.
More or less I must admit.
Fluttering in my heart.
A life about to start.
I knew this day would come,
and you would find your way,
At last my dream comes true.
I knew, I knew, I knew,
it would be today!
 Who I'd Be Lyrics

[Shrek]
I thought I'd be a hero, With sword and armor clashing
Looking semi dashing, A shield within my grip
Or else I'd be a Viking, live a life of daring
While smelling like a herring, upon a Viking ship.
I'd sail away, I'd see the world, I'd reach the farthest reaches
I'd feel the wind, I'd taste the salt and sea.
And maybe storm some beaches.
That's who I'd be. That's who I'd be.

I dreamed I'd be a poet, Write a different story,

One that told of glory, and wiped away the lies
And to the skies I'd throw it, the stars would do the telling
The moon would help with spelling, and night would dot the
'I's
I'd write my verse, Recite my joke, it'd fit in perfect timing.
I'd share my heart, confess the things I learn, and do it all
while rhyming.
But then we learn. But then we learn.

And Ogre always hides, an Ogre's fate is known

And Ogre always stays in the dark and all alone

So yes I'd be a hero and if my wish was granted

My life would be enchanted, or so the stories say.
Of course I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower
And save a hot-house flower, and carry her away
But standing guard there'd be a beast, I'd somehow over
whelm it,
I'd get the girl, I'd take my breath, and I'd remove my helmet.

We'd stand and stare, we'd speak of love, we'd feel the stars
ascending
 We'd share a kiss, I'd find my destiny
I'd have a hero's ending, a perfect happy ending.
That's how it would be
A big bright beautiful world

But not for me.

[Fiona]
An ogre always hides. An ogres fate is known. An ogre
always stays

[Donkey]
In the dark and all alone

[Fiona]
All Alone

(All at the same time)

[Shrek]
So yes i'd be a hero, and if my wish was granted my life
would be enchanted or so the stories say.
Of course i’d be a hero and I would scale a tower to save a
haukhouse flower and carry her away!
[Fiona]
There are rules and there are strictures. I believe the story
books i read by candle light
[Donkey]
Don't let me go, Don't let me go, Don't let me go
[All]
A perfect happy ending, that’s how.... it.. should be!
 Morning Person Lyrics

[Fiona]

Good morning birds

good morning trees
ohh what a lovely day
The suns so big it burns my eye
but really that's ok

A brand new day

more things to do
so many plans to make
I've had 6 cups of coffee
so I'm really wide awake

I've always been a morning person

a morning girl
Hurray
(Going up each time until the bird explodes)
Cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep
Hurray
Cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep
Hurray
Cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep
Hurray

Good morning dear

he'll take me in his massive arms and spin me in his massive arms

I've always been a morning Person

A Morning girl
Hurray

I'm ready to start adventure

I'm going to start one today
I thought I was a monster

 I Think I Got You Beat

FIONA:
I had nothing in that tower
Fighting boredom by the hour.
Princess lonely
Walking circles
I had only...

Bare essentials
army cot
a hot plate and chamber pot.
And every morning I would boil it.
No choice I had no toilet.
Just a view of devastation
out one window, isolation
in my bedroom
and very little headroom
Twenty years I sat and waited
I'm very dedicated
On the walls the days were added
Luckily those walls were padded
so...

I think I got you beat

I think I got you beat
yeah, yeah yeeeaaahh,
I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat.

SHREK:
(spoken)Oh you think so. That was a sad story but
I've heard better I'm just saying
A for effort thanks for playing
Sad to see a princess suffer
But I had it rougher
Like that time a mob with torchers burned my britches
See the scorches
You're just whiney
I had a flaming hiney
As I fled I had to wonder
If I were torn asunder
Would an ogre go to Heaven
Did I mention I was seven?
So...
I think I got you beat. yeah, yeah, yeah
 I think I got you beat.
I think I got you beat.

FIONA:
No warm regards

SHREK:
No Christmas cards

FIONA:
And every day

SHREK:
Was hell on earth day.

FIONA:
(spoken)Okay top this.
I missed my prom

SHREK:
My dad and mom sent me away,
it was my birthday.

FIONA:
(spoken)I was sent away on Christmas Eve. Haha.

FIONA/SHREK:
(repeated lines)

My dad and mom sent me away...

FIONA:
So...

SHREK:

So...

FIONA/SHREK:
I think I got you beat, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I got you beat, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I got you beat, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ,yeah

The Ballad of Farquaad Lyrics

 FARQUAAD
(spoken)
My father simply couldn't accept that I wanted nothing to do with the
family business...that lowly,
dirty family business...

(Sung)
My daddy was a miner
So he wasn't much around
Foraging for diamonds
A life spent underground

Daddy didn't talk much

He barely said hello
He'd simply mutter "Heigh ho"
And off to work he'd go

Daddy was grumpy...

My momma was a princess

Who left her crown behind
Daddy was her true love, so
Momma didn't mind

I never knew my momma

But she could've been a queen
She married way beneath her...
Beneath her knee, I mean

Ohhh, daddy's bed was lumpy

So mommy couldn't sleep
Daddy built a new one
So tall and so steep

Twenty-five mattresses she slept upon

One night she rolled over...
And momma was gone

So daddy was grumpy...

 Me and my old man
A tale as old as dirt
A bitter distant father
In a tiny undershirt

Daddy up and left me

Left me good as dead
Now he lives in squalor
Sleeping seven to a bed

(spoken)
You abandoned me in those woods, daddy.
Well I crawled out! And up! Oh, if only you could see me now, daddy...
I'd invite you to the wedding but you have to be
THIS tall to get in! Hahahahahaha!

(sung)
My bride-to-be is gorgeous
Her wedding dress, designer
The guest list will be major
Without a minor miner

Guards
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

FARQUAAD
Packs of royal lackeys
Playing violin

GUARDS
Strings of royal underlings

FARQUAAD & (GUARDS)

Who will not let you in!
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha!
Tricked out carriage!
(Tricked out carriage)
Twenty stallions!
(Twenty stallions)
With a coachman named Raoul
 (With a coachman named Raoul)
Big reception!
(Big reception)
With a boy band!
(With a boy band)
And a royal deejay by the pool...

Yes! I can see my future

And so it shall be done
It's total domination
With some torture just for fun, hee hee!

'Cause I will have my wedding And I will have a queen!

And once I get that crown on
You will get the guillotine

And I'll punish you daddy

'Cause I'm all grown up And bigger than you'll ever know!

You're gonna pay daddy!

It's any day daddy!
I'm off to work
Heigh ho!
 Make A Move Lyrics
[Donkey]
There's something going on around here
I've been watching and the signals are clear
A nervous laugh when she brushes his skin
The sweaty palms, the big dopey grin
Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm
With a giggle and a flip of her hair
I smell the pheromones in the air
Making goo goo eyes over their food
They need my help here in setting the mood
(Oh you don't believe love is blind'
Well I got some friends who think otherwise. And here they are. Direct from my
imagination)

 When Words Fail Lyrics

[Shrek]
Princess.. I..
How's it going first of all'
Good'
Uh, it's good for me too.
I'm okay

I picked this flower

Right over there
Is where it grew
And I don't really like it
But it made me think of you
Because it's pretty
Is what I'm trying to say
And you are also pretty
But I like you anyway

So please accept this flower

With its petals and a stem
Which represent my feelings
And tells you how..
(Spoken)
Oh man I'm in trouble

When words fail

What will I do'
When words fail
How will she know how I feel'
When words fail
Will I fail too'

Hello fair princess

Oh look the moon
 Is out tonight
You remind me of that moon
Because it's big and bright
And by big I don't mean chubby
Obviously you're not fat
But your personality is biggish
Is what I meant by that

Sorry 'bout that fat thing,

I'm on the hefty side myself
I have to blame the gene pool
Which reminds me of'
Oh where I am going with this

When words fail

What will I do'
When words fail
How will she know how I feel'
When words fail
Will I fail too'

Do I have a snowball's chance'

Are my prospects just too grim'
I spent my life stuck in the mud
Now I'm crawling out on a limb

If words fail
She'll know what I mean
If words fail
She'll just take my hand
She sees me like no one else has
If words fail
She'll understand
She'll understand
 Morning Person (Reprise) Lyrics
[Fiona]
Good morning dawn
Good morning day
Good morning Morning Dove
I had a long and sleepless night
Pondering true love
My fairy tale
I know so well
Must somehow gone awry
Looks may be deceiving but,
Feelings cannot lie.
Do I love him?
Last night I was uncertain
But this morning
This morning
This morning
(Spoken) Shrek, thank goodness. There is something I
have to tell you.
[Shrek]
You don’t have to tell me anything I heard enough last
night
[Fiona]
Oh, you heard what I said?
[Shrek]
Every word! Especially, Who could love such a
hideous ugly beast?
 Gonna Build A Wall Lyrics

Shrek

I'm gonna build me a wall; I'll make it ten feet high.

See ya later pal, bye bye.
No one gettin' in so don't you even try.
A ten foot wall..

I'm gonna build me a wall, I'm gonna disappear.

What's the matter pal, am I not bein' clear?
Can't you take a hint; am I getting through at all?
Just get outta here..

I was told the world would despise me.

So I should have known, I should have guessed.
I thought these two might be different.
Well now I know, they're just like all the rest.

I'm gonna be what they want, I'm gonna be what they say.
Hey world, I'll do it your way!
You're looking for a monster; it's your lucky day.
I'll be what you want..

What a fool to think she might love me.

I opened my heart and let her walk through.
She wanted prince charming, I wanted my home back,
How lucky both our wishes come true..

Gonna build me a wall, a perfect place to hide.

Hey world, stay on your side.
The best way to conquer they say is to divide.

Gonna build a wall.

Gonna be what they say.
Gonna hide in my heart.

Gonna build a wall...

Freak Flag Lyrics

[GINGY]
We spend out whole lives wishing we weren't so freakin' strange.
They make us feel the pain. But it's they who need to change
 [PAPA BEAR]
(spoken)
The way they think, that is.

[GINGY]
It's time to stop the hiding. It's time to stand up tall.
Sing hey world, I'm different, and here I am splinters and all!
Splinters and all

[MAMA BEAR]
Let your freak flag wave

That’s what i’m talking about!

[MAMA BEAR]
Never take it down, never take it down
Raise it way up high! Yeah! Let your freak flag fly! Let it fly, fly, fly!

[PINOCCHIO]
It's hard to be a puppet

[PINOCCHIO]
So many strings attached.

[HUMPTY-DUMPTY]
But it's not the choice you make.
It’s just, how you, were hatched!

[ALL]
Let your freak flag wave, let your freak flag fly. Never take it down, Never take it

Raise it way up high!
Let your freak flag fly

Big Bright Beautiful World (Reprise) Lyrics
Shrek:

It's a big bright beautiful world

With happiness all around.
Its peaches and cream
If a dream comes true.

It's a big bright beautiful world

With possibilities everywhere.
If true love is blind
Maybe you won't mind the view?

I know i'm not the handsome prince

For whom you waited
I don't have a fancy castle,
And i'm not sophisticated.
A princess and an ogre,
I admit, is complicated.
You've never read a book like this,
But fairytales should really be updated.

It's a big bright beautiful world.

I see it now, i'll let it in.
I'll tear down a wall
And clear a spot for two
To be with you.
 Finale Lyrics

[Fiona]
I waited all my life
Lived it by the book
Now i know that's not my story
You take me as i am
Love me as i look
Standing here in all my glory

I am sweetness
I am bratty
I'm a princess
I'm a fatty
I'm a mess of contradictions in a dress
I am sassy
I am sappy
When i'm with you
I am happy
This is my story

[Shrek]
You laugh at all my jokes
Even though they're crude
You don't mind that i'm not classy

[Shrek & Fiona]

We make a perfect pair
Radiant and rude
So in love and much too gassy

We are ogres
We are scary
We are donkeys
We are hairy
We have bold and brand new stories to be told
We will write them
We will tell them
You will hear them
You will smell them
This is our story

[spoken]
...and that is how the little ogre came
To live on the swamp with a beautiful princess-
And his best friend!
 And his best friend!
And a gingerbread man!
And a very handsome puppet!
And an elf!
And a fairy godmother!
And a witch!
And a cross dressin' wolf!
And three pigs!

[sung]
What makes us special
(what makes us special)
What makes us special
(what makes us special)
Makes us strong

We are witches
We are fairies
We are wierdos
I'm an aries!
We're a giant different sampler here to try

We are puppets
We are rabbits
We are hobbits with bad habits
We're a screwy but delighted crazy stew
We are different
And united
We are us
And we are you

This is our story

This is our story
This is our story

God bless us everyone!

The end
 More to the Story Lyrics

Fiona:

This is by the book

A picture perfect bride
I got my happy ending
In a fairytale the knott must get tied

This is what i dreamed

Finally it's real
I knew what i might look like
But i never thought how i might feel

And there's more

More
More to the story
What you so often see isn't always so
There's more
More to the story
Now i know

Every princess is a beauty

Every dragon must be cruel
Big goes with bad
And royal goes with beauty
We play our parts
We follow every rule

This is by the book

I knew it from the start
The ogre tries to hurt you
But i never knew they meant in the heart

And there's more

More
More to the story
What you so clearly see
Isn't always so

There's more
More to the story
Now i know
Now i know

What you so fondly told

Isn't always so
There's more
More
To the story
Now i know

This is by the book

I got my happy ending
 I'm a Believer Lyrics

I thought love was only true in fairy tales

Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me (dum dum dum dum dum)
That's the way it seems (dum dum dum dum dum)
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

And then I saw her face

Now I'm a believer.
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love
(oooooo)
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her
if I tried

I thought love was more or less a given thing

It seems the more I gave the less I got, Oh Yeah
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain

And then I saw her face,

Now i'm a believer.
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love
(oooooo)
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her
if I tried

(the love)

love was out to get (dum dum dum dum dum)

that`s the way it seems (dum dum dum dum dum)
dissapointment haunted all my dreams

And then I saw her face,

Now I'm a believer.
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love
(oooooo)
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, yeah

I'm a believer.

I'm a believer.
