Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my Spiderman ABC
People can tell me that he's not real
But I - I gone crazy about that silk and steel
I wanna be rescued from bad guys clutches
I want to know what that Spiderman touch is
Spiderman
I fell in love with a smooth operator
He loved me now so I see you later
I fell in to his Spiderman net
Now I am as happy as a girl can get
Spiderman
Spiderman

Spiderman
These lyrics are about the singer's intense love and admiration for Spiderman. Despite people telling her that Spiderman is not real, she still believes in him because of her love for the character. She watches him on TV and is enamored by his abilities and the way he saves people from danger. The singer also wants to experience the feeling of being rescued by Spiderman, and she longs to know what it feels like to have his touch.
The second verse of the song takes a more personal turn as the singer falls in love with someone who she describes as a "smooth operator." This person captures her heart and pulls her into his "Spiderman net." This suggests that the singer sees her love interest as heroic and capable, much like Spiderman. She feels incredibly happy and fulfilled in her relationship with this person.
