Knight Gladys And The Pips - Superwoman Lyrics

with Dionne Warwick and Patti LaBelle


Early in the morning
I put breakfast at 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 thatÂÂÂÂÂ's missing is your morning kiss
That used to greet me

Now, now you say the juice is sour
Well, it used to be so sweet (Well)
And I canÂÂÂÂÂ't help but to wonder
If youÂÂÂÂÂ're talking about me (Oh, youÂÂÂÂÂ're talkinÂÂÂÂÂ')

We donÂÂÂÂÂ't talk the way we used to
And itÂÂÂÂÂ's hurting me so deep
I got my pride, I will not cry
But itÂÂÂÂÂ's making me weak

IÂÂÂÂÂ'm not your superwoman
IÂÂÂÂÂ'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down
And think that everythingÂÂÂÂÂ'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)

I find a 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
YouÂÂÂÂÂ're not hungry at all
You said youÂÂÂÂÂ'd rather read the paper
And you donÂÂÂÂÂ't want to talk

YouÂÂÂÂÂ'd like to think IÂÂÂÂÂ'm just crazy [Crazy, crazy]
When I say that youÂÂÂÂÂ've changed
Well, I think I know the problem
You donÂÂÂÂÂ't love me the same

YouÂÂÂÂÂ're just going through the motions
And youÂÂÂÂÂ're not being fair
I got my pride, I will not cry
But I canÂÂÂÂÂ't help but care

IÂÂÂÂÂ'm not your superwoman (Oh, no, no, no) [Oh, no, no]
IÂÂÂÂÂ'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down
And think that everythingÂÂÂÂÂ's okay
Boy, I am only human (IÂÂÂÂÂ'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me

Oh, baby, look into the corners of your mind {Into the corners of my mind}
IÂÂÂÂÂ'll always be there for you through good and bad times
But I canÂÂÂÂÂ't be that superwoman that you want me to be
IÂÂÂÂÂ'll give my love {Love}, everlasting love {Hey} if you return love to me

IÂÂÂÂÂ'm not your superwoman (Oh, no, no, no) [Oh, no, no]
IÂÂÂÂÂ'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down
And think that everythingÂÂÂÂÂ's okay
Boy, I am only human (IÂÂÂÂÂ'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me

Of, 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…)

IÂÂÂÂÂ'm the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet
But youÂÂÂÂÂ've got to realize that youÂÂÂÂÂ've got to be sweeter to me, yeah
I need love
I need just your love

I donÂÂÂÂÂ't want to be super, super, superwoman (Oh, no)
IÂÂÂÂÂ'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down
And think that everythingÂÂÂÂÂ's okay
Boy, I am only human (IÂÂÂÂÂ'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me

IÂÂÂÂÂ'm not your superwoman (Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no)
IÂÂÂÂÂ'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down (DonÂÂÂÂÂ't let me, donÂÂÂÂÂ't let me down)
And think that everythingÂÂÂÂÂ'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

IÂÂÂÂÂ'm not your superwoman (IÂÂÂÂÂ'm not your superwoman)
IÂÂÂÂÂ'm not the kind of girl that you can lay down
And think that everythingÂÂÂÂÂ's okay {DonÂÂÂÂÂ't even try it}
Boy, I am (DonÂÂÂÂÂ't) only human (DonÂÂÂÂÂ't let me down, IÂÂÂÂÂ'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me
