They said you ain't got a prayer
A chance in you know where
But I just didn't care when I looked in your eyes

You were a long shot from the start,
An easy way to break my heart
But as perfect as you are,

You gotta risk it all sometimes

Chorus:

I believe in the underdog,
Who chases dreams and breaks down walls
The shy kids who gets the prom queen,

Whose never been the star of anything
And those two lovers who kissed at city hall
They've got each other so they've got it all

Call me a dreamer or say I'm a little nieve,
Oh, but I believe in the underdog


We bought a 4-room fixerup,
On the side of town where times are tough
Short on cash, but a lot on love

Yeah, we sure showed it
Then you gave me our little man
So small he fit inside my hand

Two months early, two pounds
The tallest kid in third grade now


Chorus:
I believe in the underdog,
Who chases dreams and breaks down walls

The shy kids who gets the prom queen,
Whose never been the star of anything
And those two lovers who kissed at city hall

They've got each other so they've got it all
Call me a dreamer or say I'm a little nieve,
Oh, but I believe in the underdog


The banks still breathing down our necks
We're still living check to check

Girl, we dig deeper everyday
We still hit our knees and pray, we pray, we pray


Chorus:
Oh, I believe in the underdog,
Who chases dreams and breaks down walls

Oh, how a guy like me could get the prom queen,
I'd never been the star of anything
We were two lovers hitched at city hall

We've got each other so we've got it all
Call me a dreamer or say I'm a little nieve,
Yeah, you can call me a dreamer or say I'm a little nieve,

Oh, but I believe in the underdog
Oh in the underdog
I believe

Yeah, in the underdog
