[Gladys Knight]
Early in the morning
I put breakfast on your table
And I make sure that your coffee
Has its sugar and cream
Ooh, your eggs are over easy
Your toast done lightly
All that's missing is your morning kiss
That used to greet me
[Patti LaBelle + (Dionne Warwick) + Gladys]
Now, now you say the juice is sour
Well, it used to be so sweet (Well)
And I can't help but to wonder
If you're talking about me (Oh, you're talkin')
We don't talk the way we used to
And it's hurting me so deep
I got my pride, (I will not cry)
But it's making me weak
[Chorus]
I'm not your superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me
(Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
[Dionne Warwick]
I find 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
[Gladys Knight + Dionne + (Patti)]
You'd like to think that I'm just crazy (Crazy, crazy)
When I say that you've changed
Well, I think 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 got my pride, (I will not cry)
But I can't help but care
[Chorus]
I'm not your superwoman (Oh, no, no, no) (Oh, no, no)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human (I'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me
[Bridge: Gladys]
Oh, baby, look into the corners of your mind {Into the corners of my 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 {Love}, everlasting love {Hey} if you return love to me
[Chorus]
I'm not your superwoman
(Oh, no, no, no) (Oh, no, no)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human (I'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me
Oh, if you feel it in your heart
And you understand me
Stop right where you are
Everybody sing along with me
Ooh, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, ho, ho…)
I don't want to be super, super, superwoman (Oh, no)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human (I'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me
I'm not your superwoman (Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down (Don't let me down, don't let me down)
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human (Only, only, only, only human, yeah)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me
I'm not your superwoman (I'm not your superwoman)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down
And think that everything's okay {Don't even try it, baby}
Boy, I am only human (Don't, don't let me down, I'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me
