Superwoman
Karyn White Lyrics

Early in the morning I put breakfast at your table
I wake up early in the morning to prepare and serve you breakfast.

And make sure that your coffee has its sugar and cream
I ensure that your coffee is sweetened and has cream added to it.

Your eggs are over easy, your toast done lightly
I prepare your eggs so that they are not too hard or soft and toast your bread to a desirable shade.

All that's missing is your morning kiss
I used to receive a kiss from you in the morning, but that's no longer the case.

That use to greet me
You used to kiss me good morning, but now you don't.

Now you say the juice is sour
You complain that the juice doesn't taste good anymore.

It used to be so sweet
You used to enjoy the juice when it was sweet.

And I can't help but to wonder
I start to think if you're referring to me when you say the juice is sour.

If you're talking 'bout me
I speculate that you're talking about me when you say the juice is sour.

We don't talk the way we used to talk
Our communication isn't as open and frequent as it used to be.

It's hurting so deep
This lack of connection is causing me emotional distress.

I've got my pride
I have self-respect and won't allow myself to be treated poorly.

I will not cry
I refuse to shed tears over this situation.

But it's making me weak
Despite my efforts to maintain a strong front, this problem is taking its toll on me.

I'm not your Superwoman
I'm not an invincible, perfect partner who can handle everything on her own.

I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
I can't just accept being let down or disappointed by you without it affecting our relationship.

And think that everything's okay
Just because I try to maintain a strong front, doesn't mean that everything is alright between us.

Boy, I am only human
I have flaws and limitations as a human being, just like everyone else.

This girl needs more than occasional hugs
I need more than just occasional physical displays of affection.

As a token of love from you to me
I need tangible expressions of your love for me.

Oh, baby
Endearing term to refer to partner.

I fought my way through the rush hour
I go through the difficulties of rush hour in order to make it home to you.

Trying to make it home just for you
I make the effort to come home to you because I care about our relationship.

I want to make sure that your dinner will be waiting for you
I put in the effort to make sure that you have a dinner waiting for you when you arrive home.

But when you get there you just tell me
However, when you arrive, you tell me something unexpected.

You're not hungry at all
You have no appetite despite the dinner I prepared for you.

You said you'd rather read the paper
You'd rather read the paper than spend time conversing with me.

And you don't want to talk
You're not interested in any conversation with me.

You'd like to think I'm just crazy
You dismiss my concerns as being unfounded or exaggerated.

When I say that you've changed
When I express that I've noticed a change in your behavior toward me.

I'm convinced I know the problem
I believe that I have identified the issue I'm facing in our relationship.

You don't love me the same
You no longer feel the same level of love or affection for me.

You're just going through the motions
You're behaving a certain way towards me out of habit, rather than genuine emotion.

And you're not being fair
Your actions aren't fair to me because I need more from you in this relationship.

Still I can't help but care
Despite everything, I still care about our relationship and want to work on it.

Oh baby, look into the corners of your mind
I implore you to examine your thoughts and feelings about our relationship.

I'll always be there for you
I promise to be a constant presence and support for you.

Through good and bad times
I'll be there for you no matter what challenges or joys we face.

But I can't be that Superwoman that you want me to be
However, I can't bear the burden of being a perfect partner that meets all your needs and expectations.

I'll give my love, oh lasting love
I promise to love you consistently and for a long time.

If you'll return love to me
I'll continue to love you if you put in effort to show me love too.

Ah ha, If you feel it in your heart
I urge you to examine your emotions and see if you truly love me.

And you understand me
If you truly understand me, my concerns, and my needs.

Stop right where you are
Take a pause and examine your thoughts and feelings about our relationship.

Everybody sing along with me
Encouraging everyone to join her in singing along to the tune.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Vocalizing to the tune of the song.

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Vocalizing to the tune of the song.

I'm the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet
I'm capable of treating you sweetly and kindly.

But you've got to realize that you've got to be sweeter to me, yeah
But you also have to make an effort to treat me with love and kindness.

I need love
I need love, affection, and emotional support from you.

I need just your love
I don't need anything materialistic, just your love and attention.

As a token of love from you to me
I need you to show your love for me through your actions, and not just words.
