She moves across the room from me
I sit there waiting patiently
I watch a tear fall from her eye
I hold my breath and grab her hand
I'm trying hard to understand
She won't let me into her world

I wanna be your superman
Hold you, protect you
I wanna be the man that can
Save you from this mess you're in
I wanna be your superman

I count the streetlights down the road
I'm heading toward overload
I call your line, but nobody's there
She screams out loud; she whispers
But, nobody seems to hear a thing
She's closer to the edge again

I wanna be your superman
Hold you, protect you
I wanna be the man that can
Save you from this mess you're in
I wanna be your superman
I wanna be your superman

She never wanted to be alone
She listens to that blank dial tone
She takes a drink and closes her eyes
Escapes into a new found land
I take that drink out of her hand
She's gone again no reason why
No reason why

I wanna be your superman
I wanna be your superman
I wanna be your superman
I wanna be your superman

I wanna be your superman
Hold you, protect you
I wanna be the man that can
Save you from this mess you're in
I wanna be your superman
I wanna be your superman
I wanna be your superman
I wanna be your superman
