“I’m a Believer” was Robert Wyatt’s first single release as a solo artist.

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 giving thing
It seems the more I gave, the less I got

I couldn't leave her if I tried
Love was out to get me

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
Oh, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm a believer

I’m a Believer was written by Neil Diamond.
