Superwoman lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mary wants to be a superwoman

But is that really in her head?

But I just want to live each day to love her

For what she is

Mary wants to be another movie star

But is that really in her mind?

And all the things she wants to be

She needs to leave behind

[Chorus]

But, very well, I believe I know you very well

Wish that you knew me, too, very well

And I think I can deal with everything going through your head

Very well, and I think I can be very well

Wish that you knew me, too, very well

And I think I can cope with everything going through your head

[Verse 2]

Mary wants to be a superwoman

And try to boss the bull around

But does she really think that she will get by with a dream?

My woman wants to be a superwoman

And I just had to say goodbye

Because I can't spend all my hours starting to cry

[Chorus]

But, very well, I believe I know you very well

Wish that you knew me, too, very well

And I think I can deal with everything going through your head

Very well, think that I know you very well

Wish you knew me like I know you, very well

But I think I can deal with everything going through your head

(Your filthy head)

[Bridge]

Very well, dum dum da, dum dum da

Very well, wish you knew me too very well

And I wish I could think of everything going through your head

Very well, dum dum da, dum da, dum da

Dum dum da, dum da, very well

And I think I can deal with everything going through your head

[Verse 3]

When the summer came you were not around

Now the summer's gone and love cannot be found

Where were you when I needed you last winter, my love?

When the winter came, you went further south

Parting from love's nest, leaving me in doubt

Where are you when I need you, like right now?

Our love is at an end

But you say now you have changed

But tomorrow will reflect love's past

When the winter came, you were not around

Through the bitter winds, love could not be found

Where were you when I needed you last winter, my love?

Oh, I need you, baby; I need you, baby

Our love is at an end

But you say now you have changed

But tomorrow will reflect love's past, oh

Spring will fill the air, you will come around

Is it summer love that will let me down?

Where were you when I needed you last winter, my love?

La la la la la, la la la la la

La la la la la, la la la la la

Where are you when I need you, like right now?

Right now, right now, right now

[Outro]

Where were you when I needed you last winter, my dear?

I need you, baby; I need you, baby; I need you, baby

I need you, baby; I need you, baby; I need you, baby

Oh, where were you when I needed you last winter, last winter

Yeah, need you, baby, need you, need you, baby

Oh, you want me to need you, baby

Oh, where were you when I needed you last, dear, yeah
