Superman Lyrics

[Verse 2]
If you go a million miles away
I'll track you down, girl
Trust me when I say I know
The pathway to your heart

[Chorus]
(I am, I am Superman)
(And I know what's happening)
I am, (I am) I am Superman
And I can do anything (Hey, hey)

[Outro]
I am, (I am) I am Superman
And I know what's happening (Hey, hey)
I am, (I am) I am Superman
And I can do anything

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
