Lyrics

Hey, hey, hey

Expression of attention or greeting.

Hey, hey, hey

-

Well you're a liar and your cues are all wrong

Accusation of dishonesty, and observation of misleading behavior.

But I can't count all the ways you woo me

Difficulty in quantifying the ways the person is being charmed or pursued.

I watch you capture what I can't hold

Observing someone successfully capturing something intangible.

Now make it make some sense to me

Desire for understanding or clarification of the observed actions.


You are

Repetition emphasizing the designation of the person as a "Superman."

You are my

-

You are

-

You are my

-

You are

-

You are my

-

Superman (hey, hey)

-

You got to live, you got to live

Encouragement to live life.

You got to live

-

Make it fly

Encouragement to elevate or improve.

Bless your soul

Expressing admiration or wishing well for the person's essence.

You get by

Acknowledgment of the person's ability to overcome challenges.

Take me along

Invitation to be part of the journey.

But all the static here it's breaking you apart

Recognition of difficulties or challenges causing internal conflict.

You can't help the way you, you, you, you

Acknowledgment of the person's innate qualities or behaviors.


You are

Reiteration of the person being a "Superman."

You are my

-

You are

-

You are my

-

You are

-

You are my

-

Superman

-

Hey

Encouragement to keep moving forward despite impatience.

You, you, you (hey), you can't wait

-

So walk, walk, walk on now (hey)

-

You know you saved me

Acknowledgment of being saved by the person.

Don't, don't don't go hand down

Request not to abandon or let go.


You are (hey, hey, hey)

Repetition of the person being a "Superman."

You are my

-

You are

-

You are my

-

You are (hey)

-

You are my

-

Superman (hey, hey)

-

You got to live, you got to live

Reiteration of the encouragement to live life.

You got to live (hey)

-

(Hey, hey, hey)

Concluding expression or emphasis.

(Hey)
