Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mmm
You high, baby?
Yeah
Yeah?
Talk to me
You want me to tell you something?
Uh-huh
I know what you wanna hear

'Cause I know you want me, baby, I think I want you too
(I think I love you, baby) I think I love you too
I'm here to save you, girl, come be in Shady's world
I wanna grow together, let's let our love unfurl
You know you want me, baby, you know I want you too
They call me Superman, I'm here to rescue you
I wanna save you, girl, come be in Shady's world
(Ooh boy, you drive me crazy) bitch, you make me hurl

They call me Superman
Leap tall hoes in a single bound
I'm single now, got no ring on this finger now
I'd never let another chick bring me down
In a relationship, save it, bitch
Babysit? You make me sick
Superman ain't savin' shit
Girl, you can jump on Shady's dick
Straight from the hip, cut to the chase
I tell a motherfuckin' slut to her face
Play no games, say no names
Ever since I broke up with what's-her-face
I'm a different man, kiss my ass
Kiss my lips? Bitch, why ask?
Kiss my dick, get my cash?
I'd rather have you whip my ass
Don't put out, I'll put you out
Won't get out, I'll push you out
Puss blew out, poppin' shit
Wouldn't piss on fire to put you out
Am I too nice? Buy you ice?
Bitch, if you died, wouldn't buy you life
What, you tryin' to be my new wife?
What, you Mariah? Fly through twice

But I do know one thing though
Bitches, they come, they go
Saturday through Sunday, Monday
Monday through Sunday, yo
Maybe I'll love you one day
Maybe we'll someday grow
'Til then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin' runway, ho

'Cause I can't be your Superman, can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman, can't be your Superman
I can't be your Superman, can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman, your Superman, your Superman

Don't get me wrong, I love these hoes
It's no secret, everybody knows
Yeah, we fucked, bitch, so what?
That's about as far as your buddy goes
We'll be friends, I'll call you again
I'll chase you around every bar you attend
Never know what kinda car I'll be in
We'll see how much you'll be partyin' then
You don't want that, neither do I
I don't wanna flip when I see you with guys
Too much pride, between you and I
Not a jealous man, but females lie
But I guess that's just what sluts do
How could it ever be just us two?
I'd never love you enough to trust you
We just met and I just fucked you

But I do know one thing though
Bitches, they come, they go
Saturday through Sunday, Monday
Monday through Sunday, yo
Maybe I'll love you one day
Maybe we'll someday grow
'Til then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin' runway, ho

'Cause I know you want me, baby ('cause I can't be your Superman)
I think I want you too (can't be your Superman)
I think I love you, baby (can't be your Superman)
I think I love you too (can't be your Superman)
I'm here to save you, girl (I can't be your Superman)
Come be in Shady's world (can't be your Superman)
I wanna grow together (can't be your Superman, your superman)
Let's let our love unfurl (your superman)
You know you want me, baby (I can't be your Superman)
You know I want you too (can't be your Superman)
They call me Superman (can't be your Superman)
I'm here to rescue you (can't be your Superman)
I wanna save you, girl (can't be your Superman)
Come be in Shady's world (can't be your Superman)
Ooh, boy, you drive me crazy (can't be your Superman, your superman)
Bitch, you make me hurl (your superman)

First thing you say, I'm not fazed
I hang around big stars all day
I don't see what the big deal is anyway
You're just plain old Marshall to me
Ooh yeah, girl, run that game
Hailie Jade, I love that name
Love that tattoo, what's that say?
"Rot In Pieces," uh, that's great
First off, you don't know Marshall
At all, so don't grow partial
That's ammo for my arsenal
I'll slap you off that bar stool
There goes another lawsuit
Leave handprints all across you
Good Lordy, whoadie
You must be gone off that water bottle
You want what you can't have
Ooh girl, that's too damn bad
Don't touch what you can't grab
End up with two backhands
Put anthrax on a Tampax
And slap you 'til you can't stand
Girl, you just blew your chance
Don't mean to ruin your plans

But I do know one thing though
Bitches, they come, they go
Saturday through Sunday, Monday
Monday through Sunday, yo
Maybe I'll love you one day
Maybe we'll someday grow
'Til then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin' runway, ho

'Cause I know you want me, baby ('cause I can't be your Superman)
I think I want you too (can't be your Superman)
I think I love you, baby (can't be your Superman)
I think I love you too (can't be your Superman)
I'm here to save you, girl (I can't be your Superman)
Come be in Shady's world (can't be your Superman)
I wanna grow together (can't be your Superman, your superman)
Let's let our love unfurl (your superman)
You know you want me, baby (I can't be your Superman)
You know I want you too (can't be your Superman)
They call me Superman (can't be your Superman)
I'm here to rescue you (can't be your Superman)
I wanna save you, girl (can't be your Superman)
Come be in Shady's world (can't be your Superman)
Ooh, boy, you drive me crazy (can't be your Superman, your superman)
Bitch, you make me hurl (your superman)

'Cause I can't be your Superman, can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman, can't be your Superman
I can't be your Superman, can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman, your Superman, your Superman
'Cause I can't be your Superman, can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman, can't be your Superman
I can't be your Superman, can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman, your Superman, your Superman

(Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ayy, ayy, ooh, Superman)




(Your, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Ooh, na-na-na-na, ooh)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics begin with a dialogue between Eminem and Dina Rae where he asks her if she is high, and proceeds to tell her what she wants to hear. The song represents Eminem as a superhero or a saviour - Superman - who is capable of rescuing Dina Rae from her problems and be there for her. The chorus emphasises how he cannot be her Superman, despite everything they both want. He portrays himself as being unattached, and not wanting to be dragged into a relationship. He is not looking for a companion or a wife, and his interactions with women are merely one-night stands. Eminem portrays himself as being loyal to his friends but not willing to dive deep into a commitment, especially not with a girl he has just met.


The lyrics display Eminem's unapologetic attitude towards his relationships with women. His lines are filled with misogyny, and he brings a sense of arrogance in his words. He also criticizes the woman who throws herself at him, which may suggest that he is attracting people who do not have integrity or values. The story of Superman is used as a metaphor by Eminem to justify why he cannot be anyone's saviour, even as Dina Rae makes it clear that she wants him to be her hero. In summary, "Superman" is a song about Eminem's disinterest in being emotionally committed to women, his lack of trust in them, and his willingness to defend himself from any external forces that may alter his views on relationships.

Maybe we'll someday grow


'Til then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin' runway, ho
Until then, just sit down and shut up


'Cause I can't be your Superman, can't be your Superman

We're not going to be anything more than acquaintances


We'll be friends, I'll call you again
We can still talk and hang out as friends


I'll chase you around every bar you attend
I'll keep showing up wherever you go


Never know what kinda car I'll be in


We'll see how much you'll be partyin' then


You don't want that, neither do I
Neither of us really wants that kind of situation


I don't wanna flip when I see you with guys
I don't want to get jealous when I see you with other men


Too much pride, between you and I
We both have too much pride to admit our feelings


Not a jealous man, but females lie
I'm not a jealous person, but women sometimes lie to get what they want


But I guess that's just what sluts do
I assume women who act a certain way are promiscuous


How could it ever be just us two?
I don't see how we could be in a committed relationship


I'd never love you enough to trust you
I don't think I could ever trust you, even if I did love you


We just met and I just fucked you
Our relationship is purely physical and doesn't mean anything more

I wanna save you, girl (can't be your Superman)


Ooh, boy, you drive me crazy (can't be your Superman, your superman)


Bitch, you make me hurl (your superman)


First thing you say, I'm not fazed
Nothing you say can affect me


I hang around big stars all day
I'm used to being around famous people


I don't see what the big deal is anyway
I don't understand why people are so obsessed with fame


You're just plain old Marshall to me
I don't care about your fame or celebrity status


Ooh yeah, girl, run that game
Keep trying to impress me


Hailie Jade, I love that name
I'm making a passing reference to my daughter's name


Love that tattoo, what's that say?


"Rot In Pieces," uh, that's great


First off, you don't know Marshall
You don't really know me


At all, so don't grow partial


That's ammo for my arsenal
I can use your ignorance to my advantage


I'll slap you off that bar stool
I'll get physical if you keep annoying me


There goes another lawsuit
You're going to regret messing with me


Leave handprints all across you
I'm threatening to hurt you


Good Lordy, whoadie


You must be gone off that water bottle
You must be drunk


You want what you can't have


Ooh girl, that's too damn bad


Don't touch what you can't grab
You can't have me, so don't try


End up with two backhands
I'll hit you if you keep pushing me


Put anthrax on a Tampax
I'm making a violent and disturbing threat toward you


And slap you 'til you can't stand
I'll beat you up if you don't leave me alone


Girl, you just blew your chance


Don't mean to ruin your plans


(Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)


(Ayy, ayy, ooh, Superman)


(Your, yeah, yeah, yeah)


(Ooh, na-na-na-na, ooh)
