The song "Superman" by Joe Brooks is about a man who is deeply in love with a woman who he sees as an incredible superhero, seemingly from another world. He admires everything about her, from her eyes to her curves, but finds himself disappearing and feeling small whenever she is around. Despite his admiration and feelings for her, he admits that he is not a real superhero like in the movies - he is not all-powerful, nor does he have any special abilities. Instead, he can only express his love for her through song, hoping that she will accept him for who he is. The lyrics also touch upon the fear and anxiety that can come with expressing your feelings to someone, as the man in the song struggles to find the right words and regularly "blows his lines." Ultimately, the song is a confession of love and a plea for acceptance, with the hope that the woman he loves will see him for the imperfect man that he is.
