In response to:
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 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, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

sung by the Monkees
sometimes our answers come in song
and sometimes all day long I'm just wrong
A curious sidenote.....the Monkees demise was due in part because the mother of Michael Nesmith, created White Out...or liquid paper in their kitchen, while Michael Nesmith was trying to become one of the Monkees.
The Monkees began in 1966 and not long after became a hit......but White Out turned out to be more lucrative.
in 1967 Michael Nesmith & The Monkees had the #1 record.....in 1971 his mother sold 2 million bottles of Liquid paper...
By the end of the 70's the Monkees disbanded and the Liquid Paper company was sold for $47.5 million dollars.
