I'm A Believer
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 couldn't leave her if I tried
I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more I gave, the less I got
What's the use in trying, 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 and 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 and I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, and I'm a believer
The song “I’m A Believer” by the KIDZ BOP Kids is about the singer who initially believed that true love was only meant for fairy tales, and not for them. The singer encountered many disappointments in their love life and it seemed like love was always against them. However, they finally found true love and everything changed. They fell in love and became a believer in the idea of true love. The song is an expression of the newfound love and affection that the singer has for their love interest.
The lyrics suggest that the singer was initially a skeptic about love and believed in the popular notion that true love only existed in fairy tales. The singer's skepticism is further reflected when they say that love was out to get them and that disappointment haunted all their dreams. However, after seeing their love interest's face, the singer's doubt vanished, and they became believers in the idea of true love. They are now committed to their love interest and can't leave them even if they tried.
The song was originally recorded by The Monkees in 1966 but was later covered by Smash Mouth for the movie Shrek in 2001. The KIDZ BOP Kids cover version of the song was released in 2006.
