Now my daddy died when I was three
My mama didn't bounce me on her knee
My grandma and grandpa's done passed on
That kinda left me all alone
My wife took off after our first child
Oh, my kinda ramblin' life wasn't her kinda style
So I kinda got toughened up my heart to learn not to feel
They started callin' me the man of steel
My friends all call me Superman
I never let nobody get an upper hand
Lord, I don't know what I'm going to do
'Cause the man of steel done got the blues
Dirty women, they give me the blues
No woman never got the best of me
I could walk right out with ease
'Til I fell in love and then she walked out
The man of steel got melted down
Now I can't sleep and I can't eat
Can't watch no love scenes on TV
And I don't know what I'm going to do
The man of steel done got the blues
My friends all call me Superman
And Superman never let no woman get an upper hand
Lord, I don't know what I'm gonna do
Yeah, the man of steel done got the blues
Lord, I don't know what I'm gonna do
Even ol' Superman gets the blues
Yeah, and that woman, she gave me the blues
