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 ima 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.
I never let a woman get the upper-hand.

Lord, I don't know what ima gonna do
cause the man of steel done got the blues.

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 ima gonna do.
Hey the man of steel done got the blues.
Lord, I don't know what ima gonna do.
Even ol' superman gets the blues!

Hey now that woman she gave me the blues.
