Superhero Lyrics

[Intro]
Boom!
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah

[Verse 1]
You were smilin' by my table, had to call up everyone that day
A beautiful mind and body, what a happy ending I see
My mind had been enabled in a memory you overflowed
I wanna be your superhero, even if I tumble fall

[Chorus]
I'm okay
You have that effect on me
But I need you desperately
You know I need you desperately


[Verse 2]
Brick or stone cannot hurt me, madmen around the city
Go, they attack; I'll bring 'em down, makin' their chances super low
Oh my my, pretty naval, dimple cheek, a face I adore
Wanna be your superhero, fallin' from a runnin' horse

[Chorus]
I'm okay
You have that effect on me
But I need you desperately
You know I need you desperately
[Bridge]
I, oh, I
I hold to that illusion
Yeah, I, I
I'm not your average guy

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Other guys, they won't dare to join the line in order you peck
When they introduced me to you, my face had turned to super red
Your steady beck and call, boy, playin' on piano
Wanna be your superhero, I'm not afraid to tumble fall

[Chorus]
I'm okay
'Cause you have that effect on me
But I need you desperately
You know I need you desperately
Oh, I'm okay
You have that effect on me
But I need you desperately
You know I need you desperately

[Outro]
I wanna be your superhero
Baby, I wanna be your superhero
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
