Superman
Johnny Watson Lyrics

Is it a bird, is it a plane?
Wondering if it's a bird or a plane, but it's actually his lover

But beyond is lover
His lover is beyond a bird or a plane

Is it a bird, is it a plane?
Repeating the first line, still marveling at his lover's presence

It's the superman lover
His lover is what makes him feel superhuman

I'm stronger than a locomotive, yeah
He is very strong, as strong as a train

That old saying is true
The old saying about his strength being like a train is actually true

But I can't understand sometimes, babe
He doesn't understand why he can't resist his lover

Why I'm so weak for you
He feels powerless and weak when it comes to his lover

Listen
Asking for attention to emphasize his next point

I can leap tall buildings in a single bound
He is very agile and capable of jumping very high

When it come to getting over you, baby
But, when it comes to getting over his lover, he can't do it

Well, I can't get off the ground
He is stuck and unable to move on from his lover

But they call me the Superman lover, yeah
He is known as the Superman lover, despite his struggles with his lover

Something's wrong, something's wrong with me, it's you
He recognizes that the problem is not with himself but with his lover

Faster than a speeding bullet
He is very fast, even faster than a bullet

I've out flown a few, yes, I have
He can fly faster than most things

But I must be flying awful slow sometime, babe
But sometimes he feels like he's not making progress with his lover

I can't keep up with you
He can't match his lover's pace or energy

I got X-ray vision
He has the ability to see through things with his eyes

And I can see, see through steel too babe
He even has the power to see through steel, but not his lover

I know there's something wrong with me
He recognizes that there's something wrong with himself

'Cos I can't see through you
But he can't figure out or understand his lover's behavior

Look, look up in the sky
Encouraging the listener to look up into the sky

Come on look, look, look
Insistently urging them to do so

And you'll see me flying by
Promising that they'll see him fly by

Why don't you just look, look
Asking again for the listener to look up

And if you do, come on and look, look
If they do look, he wants them to acknowledge him

I'm flying straight to you
He is flying straight to his lover

But something's wrong, something's wrong with me, it's you
He concludes that the issue is with his lover, not himself
