Superman Lyrics

Some of us are reaching for stardust
some of us are digging for gold
but it won't mean a lot on a mountaintop
when the wind reaches out for your soul

some of us stand in the spotlight
waiting for a round of applause
when the people go home you're left all alone
to face the sadness behind closed doors

i don't want the sun don't want you to run
don't want superman don't need wonderland
just want you to love me

some of us want silver linings
to be the belle of the ball
going down in a blaze of glory
the story means nothing at all

i don't want the sun don't want you to run
don't want superman don't need wonderland
just want you to love me

i don't want the stars or Venus or Mars
don't want superman don't need wonderland
just want you to love me just want you to love me
don't want superman don't need wonderland
just want you to love me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song because it's so simple. It speaks of wanting a guy to love you, not wanting him to do everything for you and give you everything. It's brilliance is in its simplicity and vulnerability.
