lyrics

I know meeting new people is tough
When you’ve all but given up on love
But if you’re hoping that I’m Clark Kent
Honey you’ll have to think again

What'll it take to impress you
Never mind get you home or undress you
If you’re waiting for Peter Parker
Better let you know just for starters

That I can’t fly if I jump off the roof
And I don’t change clothes in a telephone booth
Don’t got no mask no spandex cape
I’m just asking for a second date

No I’m not the man of steel
And I don’t drive a batmobile
Can’t climb no empire state
I’m just asking for a second date

All that first date stuff went pretty well
If you were nervous then I couldn’t tell
Just concerned about your expectations
Wanna’ be upfront about my limitations

No spider senses no x-ray eyes
And they don’t flash my name in the sky
Only human I bend and I break
I’m just asking for a second date

Well I’m not the man of steel
No I don’t drive no batmobile
Didn’t come here from outer space
I’m just asking for a second date

Anyway Superman never got laid
I’m just asking for a second date
