美國黑人美女〔凱倫懷特〕──１９８９年美國黑人榜冠軍經典──R&B/靈魂抒情曲－－描述職業婦女心聲的〔Superwoman／女超人〕




Early in the morning I put breakfast at your table
And make sure that your coffee has its sugar and cream
Your eggs are over easy, your toast done lightly
All thats missing is your morning kiss
That use to greet me.

Now you say the juice is sour
It used to be so sweet
And I cant help but to wonder
If youre talking bout me.

We dont talk the way we used to talk
Its hurting so deep
Ive got my pride
I will not cry
But its making me weak.

CHORUS:
Im not your Superwoman
Im not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everythings okay
Boy, I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs
As a token of love from you to me.

Ooh, baby...

I fought my way through the rush hour
Trying to make it home just for you
I want to make sure that your dinner will be waiting for you
But when you get there you just tell me
Youre not hungry at all
You said youd rather read the paper
And you dont want to talk

Youd like to think Im just crazy
When I say that youve changed
Im convinced I know the problem
You dont love me the same
Youre just going through the motions
And youre not being fair
Ive got my pride
I will not cry
Still I cant help but care.

REPEAT CHORUS (twice)

Ooh baby, look into the corners of your mind
Ill always be there for you
Through good and bad times
But I cant be that Superwoman that you want me to be
Ill give my love, oh lasting love
If youll return love to me

REPEAT CHORUS

Ah ha, If you feel it in your heart
And you understand me
Stop right where you are
Everybody sing along with me!

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooooooooooooh!

Im the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet
But youve got to realize that youve got to be sweeter to me, yeah
I need love
I need just your love

REPEAT CHORUS till the end

並提名葛萊美節奏藍調最佳歌曲

英國則拿到＃１１　是凱倫在當地成績最佳的歌曲

MV跟歌詞似乎有點差入　看起來好像是一場三角關係
凱倫飾演一位被兩個男人喜歡的女子
最後她選擇嫁給其中一個當警察的黑人　並生了兩個孩子
只是另一位對凱倫念念不忘
一天懷特老公去上班後　他跑來對正在曬衣服的舊情人訴說衷情
凱倫雖然同情他　但仍婉拒了這位落腮鬍黑人

〔Superwoman〕大概是懷特最受人喜愛　也最廣為人知的歌曲
