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 wanted 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
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
Is it worth it? A new winter coat and shoes for the wife And a bycicle on the boy's birthday It's just a rumour that was spread around town By the women and children Soon we'll be shipbuilding Well I ask you The boy said Dad they're going to take me to task But I'll back by Christmas It's just a rumour that was spread around town Somebody said that someone got filled in For saying that people that killed in The result of the shipbuilding With all the will in the world Diving for dear life When we could be diving for pearls It's just a rumour that was spread around town A telegram or a picture postcard Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyard And notifying the next of kin once again It's all we're skilled in We will be shipbuilding With all the will in the world Diving for dear life When we could be diving for pearls
Is it worth it? A new winter coat and shoes for the wife And a bicycle on the boy's birthday.
It's just a rumor that was spread around town By the women and children, soon we'll be shipbuilding
Well I ask you The boy said 'Dad, they're going to take me to task But I'll be home by Christmas.
It's just a rumor that was spread around town Somebody said that someone got filled in For saying that people get killed in The results of their shipbuilding.
With all the will in the world Diving for dear life When we could be diving for pearls.
It's just a rumor that was spread around town A telegram for a picture postcard Within weeks they'll be reopening the shipyard And notifying the next of kin Once again.
It's all we're skilled in We will be shipbuilding.
With all the will in the world Diving for dear life When we could be diving for pearls.
