Margot Kidder

You wouldn't know it to look at me
But I'm a superhero
I've got x-ray vision and everything

My frail frame belies my strength
I can lift tall buildings
With one hand tied behind my back

But the morning after each episode I wake up
At home, alone

Despite my mediocre looks
I'm daily dared by damsels
To fight international crime

In the end I always win the day
I save the world
I get my girl

But the morning after each episode I wake up
At home, alone

The comfort of knowing that I've saved you all wears thin

My superhuman efforts
Largely go unrewarded
The government won't take my phone calls

On my days off
I hang around the centre of town
But I don't get stopped

And the morning after each episode I'll wake up
At home, alone

The comfort of knowing that I've saved you all wears thin

The day after each episode
I wake up and wish that I wouldn't be expected to get out of bed
And help mankind

I'd comb my hair a little differently and put on some glasses
Find somewhere to hide
Tell the united nations they've got the wrong number
And I'd live a quiet life

And I'd live a quiet life
