[Verse 1]
I'm looking for someone who can make me feel
A serious love like Juliet's is real
A little impulsive and a boy at heart
A little bit shy but he'll be oh so smart

Superman
I need a Superman

You got a complicated girl like me
He's gotta be fair and treat me properly, yeah
I want him to understand equality
Gotta keep searching everywhere in the world
You gotta keep looking or you'll miss the feeling

[Chorus]
You got to be tough to make it today, whoa
You do it your way and not how they say
You'll find him somewhere
You gotta be tough to make it today, whoa
And never be scared of finding your way to Superman

[Verse 2]
Should I call him on the telephone
Should I go seem him or just stay at home
Will he be different from the other boys
If I could find him I'd be overjoyed

Superman
Where are you, Superman?
Whenever it seems like everything's on the line
You got to keep looking or you'll miss the feeling

[Chorus]
You gotta be tough to make it today, whoa
You do it your way and not how they say
You'll find him somewhere
You gotta be tough to make it today, whoa
And never be scared of finding your way to Superman
You gotta be tough to make it today, whoa
And never be scared of finding your way to Superman

[Verse 3]
With all the other boys
I never knew what it took to make a choice
When he's mine I'm going to stop
All my changing around now

Between the two of us
There'll be enough going on that's serious
I can't wait until I can stop
All my looking around now

I found my Superman
I found my Superman
Whenever it seems like everything's on the line
You gotta keep looking or you'll miss the feeling

[Chorus]
You gotta be tough to make it today, whoa
You do it your way and not how they say
You'll find him somewhere
You gotta be tough to make it today, whoa
And never be scared of finding your way to Superman

You gotta be tough to make it today, whoa
You do it your way and not how they say
You'll find him somewhere
You gotta be tough to make it today, whoa
And never be scared of finding your way to Superman

You gotta be tough to make it today
You do it your way and not how they say
You gotta be tough to make it today, whoa
And never be scared of finding your way to Superman

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
