Superwoman  Karyn White

Early in the morning I put breakfast at your table
And make sure that your coffee has its sugar and cream
Your eggs are over easy, your toast done lightly
All that's missing is your morning kiss
That use to greet me

Now you say the juice is sour
It used to be so sweet
And I can't help but to wonder
If you're talking about me

We don't talk the way we used to talk
It's hurting so deep
I've got my pride
I will not cry
But it's making me weak

*I'm not your superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs
As a token of love from you to me

Ooh, baby...

I fought my way through the rush hour
Trying to make it home just for you
I want to make sure
That your dinner will be waiting for you
But when you get there you just tell me
You're not hungry at all
You said you'd rather read the paper
And you don't want to talk

You'd like to think I'm just crazy
When I say that you've changed
I'm convinced I know the problem
You don't love me the same
You're just going through the motions
And you're not being fair
I've got my pride
I will not cry
Still I can't help but care (*)

Ooh baby, look into the corners of your mind
I'll always be there for you
Through good and bad times
But I can't be that superwoman that you want me to be
I'll give my love, oh lasting love
If you'll return love to me (*)

Ah ha, If you feel it in your heart
And you understand me
Stop right where you are
Everybody sing along with me!

I'm the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet
But you've got to realize
That you've got to be sweeter to me, yeah
I need love
I need just your love (*)
女超人  凱倫懷特

清晨,我把早餐放在你的桌上
確定咖啡已經加了糖和奶精
你的蛋兩面都煎好了,吐司微焦
只是少了你的早晨之吻
習慣用來問候我的吻

現在,你說果汁是酸的
從前的是那麼甜
我無能為力,卻不禁懷疑
你說的其實是我

我倆不再像以往那樣談心
那真是使人痛入心扉
我有我的尊嚴
我不會哭
但卻使我更虛弱

我不是你的女超人
我不是那種任你糟蹋
 還覺得若無其事的女孩
男孩,我只是個凡人
這個女孩需要的不只是偶爾的擁抱
做為你對我愛的象徵

噢!寶貝

在塞車時段,我拼命趕路
都是為了你而趕回家
只想確定說
在你回家以前晚餐已經做好
但是當你回來以後,你卻告訴我
你一點都不餓
你說寧可看報紙
一句話也不想說

你一定以為我瘋了
當我說你變了
我深信我很清楚問題的癥結所在
你不再像以前那樣愛我
你只是做做樣子
並非真心
我有我的尊嚴
我不會哭
我依然無能為力,但我很在乎

噢!寶貝,看看你的心靈角落
我永遠為你守候
經歷過歡樂與痛苦的時光
但我無法成為你想要的女超人
我會付出我的愛,永恆的愛
如果你能回心轉意

啊哈!如果你心有同感
你能夠了解我
別再執迷不悟
因為每個人都站在我這邊

我是可以對你很好的那種女孩
但你一定要弄清楚
你必須對我更好才行
我需要愛情
我就是需要你的愛
