Superwoman
White Karyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Early in the morning I put breakfast at your table
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
And I can't help but to wonder
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

Line by Line Meaning

Early in the morning I put breakfast at your table
I take care of you from the very start of your day


And make sure that your coffee has its sugar and cream
I pay attention to the small details that make your mornings better


Your eggs are over easy, your toast done lightly
I personalize your breakfast to your liking


All that's missing is your morning kiss
I miss the affection we used to share in the mornings


Now you say the juice is sour
You are unhappy with our relationship


It used to be so sweet
Our relationship was better in the past


And I can't help but to wonder
I am worried that you are unhappy because of me


If you're talking 'bout me
I think you might be criticizing me


We don't talk the way we used to talk
Our communication has changed for the worse


It's hurting so deep
It is painful for me to see our relationship suffer


I've got my pride
I have self-respect and won't tolerate mistreatment


I will not cry
I won't show my vulnerability


But it's making me weak
The situation is affecting me emotionally


I'm not your Superwoman
I am not perfect and cannot fulfill all of your needs


I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
I require effort and commitment from you


And think that everything's okay
Ignoring our problems won't make them go away


Boy, I am only human
I have my own limitations and needs


This girl needs more than occasional hugs
I need consistent love and affection from you


As a token of love from you to me
Small gestures of love are important to me


You said you'd rather read the paper
You value other things more than our relationship


And you don't want to talk
You aren't willing to communicate with me


You'd like to think I'm just crazy
You are dismissive of my concerns


When I say that you've changed
I have noticed a negative shift in our relationship


I'm convinced I know the problem
I have identified the issue in our relationship


You don't love me the same
Your feelings towards me have diminished


You're just going through the motions
You are only putting in minimal effort into our relationship


And you're not being fair
You are not treating me with the love and respect I deserve


Still I can't help but care
Despite everything, I still love and care about you


Ah ha, If you feel it in your heart
If you truly care about me


And you understand me
And you recognize my needs and feelings


Stop right where you are
Take a moment to reflect on our relationship


Everybody sing along with me
Let's all join together in solidarity and understanding


I'm the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet
I am capable of showing you a lot of love and affection


But you've got to realize that you've got to be sweeter to me, yeah
However, in order for our relationship to work, you need to show me the same level of love and affection


I need love
I crave emotional connection and affection


I need just your love
I need your love and attention to feel satisfied in our relationship
