Well I don't take no stuff
I'm jumping jack flash
The bad guys try to do me in
But I'm too smart for that
Faster than a speeding bullet
Jump buildings in a single bound
Known throughout the country
As the baddest, baddest man around
'Cause I'm Superman
I'm Superman

Watch out for Filthy McNasty
He'll try to cross my lines
From kryptonite to TNT
He'll try to blow my mind
But I fight him with my goodness
I fight him with my strength
If that don't work, my good friends
I'll hit him, hit him with the kitchen sink
Yeah
'Cause I'm Superman
I'm Superman
Oh yeah

[Bridge]

I'm rough, I'm tough
I'm big bad stuff, yeah
I'm rough, I'm tough
I'm big bad stuff, yeah
I'm rough, I'm tough
I'm big bad stuff, yeah
'Cause I'm the baddest, baddest, baddest man around
'Cause I'm Super
Yeah, I'm Superman

Commodores are an American funk/soul band, which was at its peak in the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. The members of the group met as mostly freshmen at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in 1968, and signed with Motown in November 1972, having first caught the public eye opening for The Jackson 5 while on tour.
