悪いヤツらたおすのも饱きてさぼるスーパーマン
もっぱら最近の口グセは I think love you
ぐーたら毎日するも饱きて考えたスーパーマン
女口说く时の口グセは I think love you

谁かを守ったり
街を平和にすること
かっこいいことだって

自分がやらなきゃ谁がやる？

明日には世界中をとび回る
たくさんの人たちを助けに行く
気付いた人たちも动き始める
みんなスーパーマンになってがははと笑うイェイイェイ

いいかっこするにも饱きて
まるくなったスーパーマン
正直な人生过ごそう I will love you
何度もクリーニングに出して
考えたスーパーマン
好きな模様描こう I will love you

当たり前のことなんて
ひとつもないから
どんな人もやってみる価値がある
自分で手にする

明日には世界中をかけ回る
爱する君らとにかけつける
手を取り合えば大きな力になる
みんな本当は気付いているのに

明日には世界中をとび回る
たくさんの人たちを助けに行く
気付いた人たちも动き始める
みんなスーパーマンになってがははと笑うイェイイェイ

Oh my god
