Lyrics
When I was a young, young little girl
You told me you wanted to be Superman
When I was a young, young little girl
I looked at you like you were Superman
And you flew
And you flew on a big metal bird
And you flew
You flew away
When I was young, young little girl
You flew away from me 'cause you're Superman
You do the best you can
You don't make the rules
You just go with what your gut tells you
And you show up, show up in disguise
I barely recognize you
When you come and save me
Superman
When I was a young, young little girl
They tried
Oh they tried to tell me the truth
But I only listened to you
And you're Superman
You did the best you can
You're Superman
I thought you were Superman
And I'm no longer a young, young little girl
And I used to look at you like you were the whole world
And I was wrong
You are no Superman
You're just human, like me
You can't help everything you do
Even if it doesn't just hurt you
When I was a young, young, young
Little, little, little girl
I used to think you were Superman
