Now my daddy died when I was three
My momma didn't bounce me on her knee
My grandpa and grandma done passed on
That kinda left me on my own
My wife took off after our first child
Oh my kind of ramblin' life wasn't her kinda style
So I kinda toughed up and learned not to feel
They started calling me the man of steel
Hey my friends all called me superman
I never let a woman get the upper hand
Lord I don't know what now I'm a gonna do
The man of steel done got the blues
Now I've been hurt inside and out
Some of you know what I'm talking about
You'll think your poor heart will never never heal
you'll wish you were the man of steel
My friends all call me superman...
That woman she gave me the blues
No woman ever got the best of me
I could walk right out with ease
Till I fell in love and she walked out
The man of steel got melted down
Now I can't sleep and I can't eat
Can't no watch no love scenes on TV
Now I don't know what I'm going to do
the man of steel done got the blues
my friends call me superman
superman never let a woman get the upper-hand
Lord I don't know what I'm a gonna do
Hey the man of steel done got the blues
Lord I don't know what I'm a gonna do
Even ol' superman gets the blues
Hey now that woman she gave me the blues
