lyrics

V:
I’ve read about you in the papers
You’re the one who always comes to save us
You're the face for the forces of good
You can do the things that I wish I could

I’ve seen you battle big big monsters
I’ve seen you put the pinch on cops and robbers
I’ve seen you save the weeping babes
I’ve seen you divert disasters and tidal waves

C:
Coz you’re a superhero, battling evil to the end
I wish I was a superhero, so I could bring my baby back again

You can see through me with your x-ray eyes
You’re master of illusion and disguise
You make all the super-villains mad
You have the powers that I wish I had
It seems you’re up to any task
So there’ a little favor I’d like to ask

Superhero, as I watch you flying up and above
I call to you superhero, can you save my love
Can you save our love?
Superhero, what about me?
Can you help me Superhero, can you bring my baby back to me?
my heart is aching can you set me free?

B:
You move so fast you can dodge bullets and bombs
in the face of death you're completely calm
You come from a far away galaxy
There must be something you can teach to me

Superhero, I see you flying up and above
Tell me, Superhero, can you save our love?
Superhero, I see you flying up and away
But Superhero, can you bring my baby back to me
Can you bring her here to stay?
