Superwoman
GTS feat. Karyn White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And make sure that your coffee has its sugar and cream
Your eggs are over easy, your toast done lightly
All that's missing is your morning kiss
That use to greet me
Now you say the juice is sour
It used to be so sweet
If you're talking 'bout me
We don't talk the way we used to talk
It's hurting so deep
I've got my pride
I will not cry
But it's making me weak
I'm not your Superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs
As a token of love from you to me
Oh, baby
I fought my way through the rush hour
Trying to make it home just for you
I want to make sure that your dinner will be waiting for you
But when you get there you just tell me
You're not hungry at all
You said you'd rather read the paper
And you don't want to talk
You'd like to think I'm just crazy
When I say that you've changed
I'm convinced I know the problem
You don't love me the same
You're just going through the motions
And you're not being fair
I've got my pride
I will not cry
Still I can't help but care
I'm not your Superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs
As a token of love from you to me
I'm not your Superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs
As a token of love from you to me
Oh baby, look into the corners of your mind
I'll always be there for you
Through good and bad times
But I can't be that Superwoman that you want me to be
I'll give my love, oh lasting love
If you'll return love to me
I'm not your Superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs
As a token of love from you to me
Ah ha, If you feel it in your heart
And you understand me
Stop right where you are
Everybody sing along with me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet
But you've got to realize that you've got to be sweeter to me, yeah
I need love
I need just your love
I'm not your Superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs
As a token of love from you to me
The lyrics to GTS feat. Karyn White's song Superwoman speak of the struggles of a woman who is always there for her partner but feels unappreciated and undervalued in the relationship. She talks about how she puts breakfast at the table, makes sure his coffee is just the way he likes it, cooks him dinner, and even fights her way through rush hour just to make it home in time for him - but still, he seems distant and uninterested in what she has to offer. The woman is hurt by the fact that he seems to have lost interest in her and thinks he might be talking about her when he says the juice is sour, which used to be sweet. She longs for the kind of love and appreciation that goes beyond occasional hugs and wants to be treated with the love and attention she deserves.
Line by Line Meaning
Early in the morning I put breakfast at your table
I wake up early to prepare breakfast for you
And make sure that your coffee has its sugar and cream
I add sugar and cream to your coffee as per your preference
Your eggs are over easy, your toast done lightly
I cook your eggs over easy and toast it lightly
All that's missing is your morning kiss
I miss the good mornings kisses you use to give me
That use to greet me
You don't kiss me anymore when I bring breakfast
Now you say the juice is sour
You complain that the juice doesn't taste good
It used to be so sweet
You used to love my juice
And I can't help but to wonder
I start to think if you're unhappy with me in general
If you're talking 'bout me
I wonder if you're complaining about me in particular
We don't talk the way we used to talk
We don't communicate like we used to before
It's hurting so deep
It hurts me so much
I've got my pride
I have my self-respect
I will not cry
I won't cry in front of you
But it's making me weak
It's affecting me emotionally
I'm not your Superwoman
I'm not perfect and have limitations
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
I can't handle your constant disappointments
And think that everything's okay
And expect everything to be fine
Boy, I am only human
I'm human, and I have emotions
This girl needs more than occasional hugs
I want more from you than just hugs once in a while
As a token of love from you to me
As a sign that you love me
I fought my way through the rush hour
I make an effort to reach home early for you
Trying to make it home just for you
I try my best to be there for you
I want to make sure that your dinner will be waiting for you
I like to have your dinner ready when you get home
But when you get there you just tell me
But you arrive and tell me
You're not hungry at all
You're not hungry and don't want to eat
You said you'd rather read the paper
You say you want to read the paper instead of having dinner
And you don't want to talk
You don't want to have a conversation
You'd like to think I'm just crazy
You think I'm overthinking or crazy
When I say that you've changed
When I say you've been acting differently lately
I'm convinced I know the problem
I'm sure I know what's wrong
You don't love me the same
You don't love me like before
You're just going through the motions
You're just pretending and not genuine
And you're not being fair
You're not treating me fairly
Still I can't help but care
Despite everything, I still care about you
Oh baby, look into the corners of your mind
Think hard and try to remember
I'll always be there for you
I'll always be there to support you
Through good and bad times
Through thick and thin
But I can't be that Superwoman that you want me to be
I can't be perfect and cater to your every need
I'll give my love, oh lasting love
I'll give you my love, my enduring love
If you'll return love to me
If you'll love me back
Ah ha, If you feel it in your heart
If you truly feel it
And you understand me
If you comprehend my feelings
Stop right where you are
Stop what you're doing
Everybody sing along with me
Let's all sing together
I'm the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet
I'm a kind and loving person
But you've got to realize that you've got to be sweeter to me, yeah
But you have to show me love and care too
I need love
I need your love
I need just your love
All I need is your love
