Lois Lane
Superman… The Man of steel, Big Blue, The last son of Krypton
He is faster than a speeding bullet
Stronger than a locomotive
He has Lasers for eyes X ray vision and can fly without even flapping his arms, but his most notable power… was Lois Lane
The love of an amazing woman is a phone booth
That can turn a man from a spineless news reporter into a symbol of justice
Into the reason why its safe to walk outside while the sun is sleeping
I’ll be honest, I don’t have a cape… or a costume
I wasn’t born on Krypton and its been a really long time since I’ve been in a fight, but I will fight gravity for you
When you’re upset and don’t feel like talking I will use my x-ray vision to look inside of you and find out what’s wrong
If you need me to I’ll use my superhuman strength and put your entire world on my shoulders
If you let me I will do my best to be superman for you….because you deserve it.
I’m a Superman thanks to Lois Lane
Kissed away my problems when I went insane
Fished me from the bottom when I lost my name
Gave me something I could live for
And everybody wonders what’s the change
They don’t recognize me ’cause I got so much to say
And I never thought that anyone could love someone
So much that they give up on everything
I will be there to take care of you
I will be there when you cry babe
I will be there when you need someone to tell you
that you’re beautiful, baby
I will be there when you need someone to run with
I will be there when you need someone to dance with
I’m your lover when the skies turn grey
Everyday ’til it’s beautiful, baby
I’m a butterfly when I’m in your hands
You can turn the pavement into white sand
You can make a moment a memory in a glance
And I can’t believe anyone else
And everybody’s talking, but you always keep shining
You never stop glistening, babe
And I never thought that anyone could love someone
So much that they give up on everything
There’s a million people underneath the sun
That can find a million more and never find the one
There’s a girl who did this and a socialite
Was on magazines and was the shy type, baby
But I’m a Superman thanks to Lois Lane
Kissed away the problems when I went insane
Fished me from the bottom when I lost my name
And I never thought anyone could ever mean so much
I will be there to take care of you
I will be there when you cry, babe
I will be there when you need someone to tell you
That you’re beautiful, baby
I will be there when you need someone to run with
I will be there when you need someone to dance with
I’m your lover when the skies turn grey
Everyday ’til it’s beautiful, baby
I am your Superman, babe.
