Superwoman Lyrics

Early in the morning I put breakfast at your table And make sure that your coffee Has its sugar and cream Your eggs are over easy Your toast done lightly All that's missing is your morning kiss That used to greet me Now you say the juice is sour It used to be so sweet And I can't help but to wonder If you're talking 'bout me We don't talk the way we used to talk It's hurtin' so deep I've got my pride, I will not cry But it's makin' me weak I'm not your superwoman I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down And think that everything's okay Boy, I am only human This girl needs more than occasional Hugs as a token of love from you to me, ooh, baby I fought my 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 You're not hungry at all You said you'd rather read the paper And you don't want to talk You like to think that I'm just crazy When I say that you changed I'm convinced I know the problem You don't love me the same You're just going through the motions And you're not being fair I've got my pride, I will not cry Still I can't help but care I'm not your superwoman (Oh, no, no) I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down And think that everything's okay Boy, I am only human (I'm only human) This girl needs more than occasional Hugs as a token of love from you to me I'm not your superwoman (Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo) I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down (Hey) And think that everything's okay (Don't let me down, don't you let me down) Boy, I am only human (I'm only human, yeah) This girl needs more than occasional Hugs as a token (Ooh, ooh) of love from you to me Oh, baby, look into the corners of your mind I'll always be there for you through good and bad times But I can't be that superwoman that you want me to be I'll give my everlasting love if you'll return love to me I'm not your superwoman (Oh, no, oh, no) I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down And think that everything's okay Boy, I am only human (I'm only human) This girl needs more than occasional Hugs as a token of love from you to me (Oh, no) If you feel it in your heart And you understand me Stop right where you are Everybody sing along with me Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo I'm the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet But you got to realize that you got to be sweeter to me, oh, ho, ho Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo I need love I need just your love I'm not your superwoman (Oh, no) I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down (You can let down) And think that everything's okay Boy, I am only human (I'm only human) This girl needs more than occasional (Hey, hey, hey, hey) Hugs as a token of love from you to me I'm not your superwoman

Meaning of Superwoman

Early in the morning, she meticulously caters to her partner’s every need, a devoted “superwoman,” preparing breakfast and anticipating his desires. However, as the lyrics reveal, this tireless effort is met with coldness and rejection – he finds her sweetness sour and refuses connection. The song expresses a deep emotional pain as she confronts the realization that he doesn't truly love or appreciate her sacrifices, dismissing her concerns as “crazy.” Despite her pride and determination not to cry, she’s weakened by his indifference, desperately needing genuine affection beyond superficial gestures. Karyn White powerfully conveys the vulnerability of a woman feeling unseen and unvalued, ultimately asserting her humanity – "I am only human” – and rejecting the expectation to be a constant, unwavering source of support for someone who doesn't reciprocate.
