Superman
Navigating Love's Limits: A Superman's Struggle
Lyrics
Superman (Superman), Superman (Superman), Superman
Expressing admiration or emphasis on the word "Superman."
Now there you go pickin' on me again
Complaining about being teased or picked on.
Pushin' me to the very e-e-end
Feeling pushed to the limit or to the end of patience.
Tellin' me to move another mountain
Being instructed or pressured to achieve a difficult task.
Well just 'cause you can walk on water
Comparing the partner to someone with exceptional abilities.
And you know son, I can
Asserting one's own abilities, suggesting both have strengths.
You know you're mamma should have named you Superman
Suggesting the partner should be named Superman due to abilities.
Superman (Superman), Superman (Superman), Superman
Reiteration of the admiration or emphasis on "Superman."
Now let's go through this one more time
Asking for a reconsideration or repetition of the situation.
You do your thing and I'll do mine
Advocating for independence and individual pursuits.
Now honey baby, you've gotta draw the line
Advising the partner to set boundaries in the relationship.
Your hangup is messin' with mine
Acknowledging that the partner's issues are affecting oneself.
All I can do is the best I can
Committing to doing the best possible to improve for the partner.
To change the ways that you can't stand
Expressing the willingness to change undesirable traits.
And if it ain't good enough for superman
Setting a standard that even Superman might not meet.
He ain't good enough for me
Declaring that if Superman isn't good enough, neither is oneself.
Superman (Superman), Superman (Superman), Superman
Reiteration of the admiration or emphasis on "Superman."
So you don't have to rub it in
Requesting not to emphasize superiority or correctness.
Just 'cause you're right and I'm wrong again
Pointing out that being right doesn't always justify actions.
Sometimes right is just as wrong as wrong is
Highlighting the complexity of right and wrong in relationships.
And I ain't never gonna learn how to make it plain
Expressing a lack of interest in learning to simplify matters.
I wouldn't if I could for all the bull in Spain
Rejecting the idea of making things clear for the partner.
But you go right ahead and do it, do it Superman
Granting permission for the partner to act like Superman.
Superman (Superman), Superman (Superman), Superman
Reiteration of the admiration or emphasis on "Superman."
Yeah, let's go through this one more time
Repeating the need for individual pursuits and understanding.
You do your thing and I'll do mine
Emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries in the relationship.
But honey baby, we gotta draw the line
Encouraging the partner to address their issues independently.
Your hangup is messin' with mine
Stating that the partner's issues are affecting one's own well-being.
All I can do is the best I can
Committing to personal improvement for the sake of the relationship.
To change the ways that you can't stand
Expressing the dedication to change undesirable traits.
And if it ain't good enough for superman
Setting a standard that even Superman might not meet.
He ain't good enough for mine
Declaring that if Superman isn't good enough, neither is oneself.
Superman (Superman), Superman (Superman), Superman
Reiteration of the admiration or emphasis on "Superman."
Yeah let's go through this one more time
Repeating the need for individual pursuits and understanding.
You do you're thing and I'll do mine
Encouraging the partner to address their issues independently.
Well honey baby, we've gotta draw the line
Emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries in the relationship.
Your hang up is messin' with mine
Stating that the partner's issues are affecting one's own well-being.
All I can do is the best I can
Committing to personal improvement for the sake of the relationship.
To change the ways that you can't stand
Expressing the dedication to change undesirable traits.
And if it
Concluding that if Superman isn't good enough, neither is oneself.
