[Verse 1]
So he wants to know
Does Superman really need to wear his cape to fly?
Where does rain come from?
And can I play outside?
All my friends have daddies, momma why don't I?

[Chorus]
And so I wear waterproof mascara
There's things you shouldn't see when you're a kid
Thank God they make waterproof mascara
Because it won't run like his daddy did

[Verse 2]
So I'm dating again
Letting my guard down is just so hard to do
Never introduced my son to someone new
Because if I get my heart broke
Honey he will too

[Chorus]
And so I wear waterproof mascara
There's things you shouldn't see when you're a kid
Thank God they make waterproof mascara
Because it won't run like his daddy did

[Verse 3]
I can throw the ball out in the yard
Teach him how to fish
How to drive a car
But in my heart, it just won't be enough
We've always gotten by somehow
I may not need a man right now
But I know he does

[Chorus]
And so I wear waterproof mascara
There's things you shouldn't see when you're a kid
Thank God they make waterproof mascara
Because it won't run like his daddy did
