Lyrics

When I was 18, I was a superman
Faster than a speedboat, that was me
My mother used to say, "Son, you are a young man"
And knowing what I know now
I never should have done the same now
She said, "You will find out
You will find out that one day"
Oh, superman
Young man, strong man
Whoa, superman
That was me
Young man, strong man
Whoa, superman
That was me
Now I'm 85 and I'm so lonely
I need someone, someone to talk to
I am cold and I'm so hungry
I need someone, someone to care for me
In my mind, I am still a child
A child who needs someone to care for
But the memories which I have as a superman
Are everlasting
"You will find out
You will find out that one day"
Oh, superman
Young man, strong man
Whoa, superman
That was me
Bring it on, people
Young man, strong man
I said superman
That was me
Young man, strong man
I said superman
That was me
Young man, strong man
Bring it on, superman
That was me
Young man, strong man
I said superman
That was me
