Month of Love Songs Challenge Day 16

Song: I'm a Believer

Artist: Smash Mouth

Shrek anyone? haha. Was this song already a song before Shrek or written for the movie?? 🤷 Probably the first. But it's now gone down in history as the "love theme" from Shrek 😂 Either way, it's a fun, romantic, lovey-dovey, love song! Can't wait for this to happen to me one day!! 🤞🤞💕

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 seems

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

But the more I gave the less I got, oh yeah

What's the use in trying?

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 trying?

All you get is pain

When I wanted 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

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

Now I'm a believer

Then I saw her face

Now I'm a believer

Not a trace

Of doubt in my mind

I'm a believer

Now I'm a believer

😘

WHAAAAAT?? 😲 

I guess I answered my own question from above!! Apparently a group from the 60's called The Monkees are the original artists of the song! Smash Mouth's ICONIC version is a COVER! I'm shook. Learning something new every time I post a song, I swear!

HAPPY LOVE MONTH!!
