[Verse 1]
Out in your eyes
Strong on the outside
Face like you made to be paid for your time
Smooth just like a gangster
Sharper than a pencil
Swept me off of my feet, straight up to the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
And I fell for your disguise
Caught up in the flashing flights
Oh, but I shoulda known, too good to be true
Love ain’t always what it seems
[Chorus]
I thought he was a superman
But he can’t fly
And he told me lies
Why am I surprised?
Oh, no superman
He the men of steel
‘Cause he can’t feel
No, nothing’s real
Superman
Who’s gonna save your soul
When you ain’t so super anymore?
[Verse 2]
Looks, they gon' fade
Body’s overrated
Boy, you already look like you so jaded
Too much of the bottle
Getting you in trouble
What happened to a man like you thought you’d be, babe?
[Pre-Chorus]
But you’re living for the nights

Oh, but I shoulda known, too good to be true
Love ain’t always what it seems

But he can’t fly
And he told me lies
Why am I surprised?
Oh, no superman
He the men of steel
‘Cause he can’t feel
No, nothing’s real
Superman
Who’s gonna save your soul
When you ain’t so super anymore?

Oh, but I shoulda known, too good to be true
Love ain’t always what it seems
[Chorus]
I thought he was a superman
But he can’t fly
And he told me lies
Why am I surprised?
I thought he was a superman
But he can’t fly
And he told me lies
Why am I surprised?
Oh, no superman
He the men of steel
‘Cause he can’t feel
No, nothing’s real
Superman
Who’s gonna save your soul
When you ain’t so super anymore?
