Lyrics

Supergirl

[Verse 1]

You see this kind of chick in every town

Whenever there's a scene, she's always hanging around

She's so naive and innocent, she looks at you with awe

She's only fourteen but she knows how to draw

Now, now, now, baby now

[Chorus]

Super supergirl, yeah

Super supergirl

[Verse 2]

She never gets involved with blowing her cool

She's too busy getting high with her classmates in school

The teachers all ignore her, they would if they could

She ain't quite grown up yet but her breathing's still good

Now, now, now, baby now

[Chorus]

Super supergirl, yeah

Super supergirl, yeah, alright

[Verse 1]

You see this kind of chick in every town

Whenever there's a scene, she's always hanging around

She's so naive and innocent, she looks at you with awe

She's only fourteen but she knows how to draw

Now, now, now, baby now, yeah

[Chorus]

Super supergirl, yeah

Super supergirl

Super duper, super duper

Hey, super duper, super duper

Yeah, yeah, yeah, supergirl
