Lyrics

(female voice is Dina Rea)

[Intro]
Oooooh
You high baby
Yeah
Ya'
Talk to me
You want me to tell you something
Uh-huh
I know what you want to hear...

[Chorus A]
Cause, I know you want me baby, I think I want you too
"I think I love you baby", I think I love you too
I'm here to save you girl, come be in Shady's world
I want to grow together, let's let our love unfurl
You know you want me baby, you know I want you too
They call me superman, i'm here to rescue you
I want to save you girl, come be in Shady's world
"Ooooh boy you drive me crazy", bitch you make me hurl...

[Verse 1]
They call me superman, leap tall hoes in a single bound
I'm single now, got no ring on this finger now
I'd never let another chick bring me down, in a relationship
Save it bitch, babysit, you make me sick
Superman ain't savin' shit, girl you can jump on Shady's dick
Straight from the hip, cut to the chase, I tell a muthafuckin' slut, to her face
Play no games, say no names, ever since I broke up with what's her face
I'm a different man, kiss my ass, kiss my lips, bitch why ask
Kiss my dick, get my cash, i'd rather have you whip my ass
Don't put out, i'll put you out, won't get out, i'll push you out
Puss blew out, poppin' shit, wouldn't piss on fire to put you out
Am I too nice, buy you ice, bitch if you died, I wouldn't buy you life
What you tryin' to be my new wife, what you Mariah, fly through twice...

[Prechorus]
But I do know one thing though, bitches, they come they go
Saturday through Sunday, Monday, Monday through Sunday yo'
Maybe I'll love you one day, maybe we'll someday grow
Till then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin' runway ho'...

[Chorus B]
Cause I can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman
I can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman
Can't be your Superman
Your Superman, your Superman...

[Verse 2]
Don't get me wrong, I love these ho's
It's no secret, everybody knows
Yeah we fucked, bitch so what, that's about as far as your buddy goes
We'll be friends, i'll call you again, i'll chase you around every bar you attend
Never know what kind of car i'll be in, we'll see how much you'll be partying then
You don't want that, neither do I, I don't want to flip when I see you with guys
Too much pride, between you and I
Not a jealous man, but females lie
But I guess that's just what sluts do, how could it ever be just us two
I'd never love you enough to trust you, we just met and I just fucked you...

[Prechorus]

[Chorus A / Chorus B]

[Verse 3]
First thing you say, "I'm not fazed, I hang around big stars all day
I don't see what the big deal is anyways
You're just plain old Marshall to me"
Ooh ya' girl run that game
"Hailie Jade, I love that name, love that tattoo, what's that say"
"Rot in pieces, uh...that's great"
First off you don't know Marshall, at all so grow partial
That's ammo for my arsenal, i'll slap you off that barstool
There goes another lawsuit, leave handprints all across you
Good Lordy whoadie, you must be gone off that water bottle
You want what you can't have, ooh girl that's too damn bad
Don't touch what you can't grab, end up with two backhands
Put anthrax on a tampax, and slap you till you can't stand
Girl you just blew your chance, don't mean to ruin your plans...

[Prechorus]

[Chorus A / Chorus B]

[Chorus B x2]

OMG sooooo good!! This vid totally deserves all the praise it's been getting. Thank you so much for sharing it with the fandom :D And well done!!

[on-the-ground.livejournal.com]

Yay, I can finally save your video today! I couldn't yesterday and I'm really curious about it... I'm not an Eminem fan but, having here the lyrics, I'm sure I'll like it.

Thanks!

[parallactic.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to seeing what you did with Eminem. Can I link this to the libertydiner?

[twistedpi-ck69.livejournal.com]

The video was absolutely awesome. My love for Eminem is now beyone freakish due to the usage of this song. If it's ok, I added you to my FList. Please...make more videos so I can freak out and start laughing hysterically. Please!!

[twistedpi-ck69.livejournal.com]

I loved how you did that at the end. Even though it was angsty, it really fit the song. You did awesome. I'm very anxious about the next vid...

[smirk-dog.livejournal.com]

buffyfan9005 pimped you so I decided to check the vid out. It was bloody fantastic, beautifully done. I really liked it. :)

[sarismchee.livejournal.com]

OMG! LOVE! LOVE! This is so brilliant. Eek, I'm so full of love I can't say anything meaningful. Guuuhhh.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

I don't watch QaF, but this vid was still a riot. :)

[bigboobedcanuck.livejournal.com]

I kept meaning to download this, and finally did tonight. Fabulous!! I really loved it, good job. :)

[theonemonaghan.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. Holy shit. That was fucking GOOD. That was absolutely one of the best vids I've seen. Done SO WELL. WOW. <3 WOW. DO you have more vids?????

[jesster2282.livejournal.com]

Ack, I know I'm more than a few months late but I had to comment. I'm not sure how I got here (I was just click-clicking away tonight looking for something interesting), but I'm so glad I did.

This video was completely fantastic. I wasn't sure how you could manage to fit that song with QAF, but you did it beautifully. It's one of the best vids I've ever watched. And that my dear is not just ass kissing! I read above that you have more vids so I'm off to check those out.

BTW--Me and 2 of my friends are attempting the whole community thing. We just have a little fledgling right now, but would you mind if I linked back to this video?? Thank ya!

Do to my previous hatred of Eminem, I saw your post for this vid on the vidding community and let it go.

Thanks much in part to linzeems's harassment and sisabet's constant influence of rap, I finally downloaded this video.

I'm not sure there are enough words to express this video. By the end of it, I *got* Brian Kinney in a way I never had before.

In the beginning of the video, it's a game. He says whatever he has to do to get Justin into his bed. It's all about the fuck. And then he moves on, moves on to the next fuck. But he finds himself going back to Justin, fuckin Justin again. Pushing him away, pulling him back... it's a game. Just a game, just for fun.

Then it becomes serious. It's still a game, but more is at stake. Brian sends Justin off to Ethan, because he doesn't want to want Justin. At the same time, he knows it won't last with Ethan... so he isn't really losing Justin. It's a safe bet that Justin will be back to him... that they'll fuck again.

Then Justin learns the game and starts to play it back. The want becomes stronger, but Brian can't handle it. He's not supposed to want just one person. All he wants is Justin and he's disgusted with himself. That's not what his plan for himself was. he hates the want, he hates the desire, but he has to have Justin there. It's this internal push and pull that is tearing him apart. Brian Kinney can't want just one man. That's not the way it was supposed to be. But now it is and it's wrong. He's dirty, he's wrong, but he can't change it, he can't stop it and he has to go with it. He's got to find the balance.

I am so impressed with the way this went. And I have such a better understanding of Brian's character and a different appreciation for the Justin/Brian dynamic.

All and all. Job well done. ;)

[angel-liam.livejournal.com]

Wow, that vid was great!! The firstt scene, oh wow, I laughed so much! Justin with the woman's vpice!LOL

[fopperies.livejournal.com]

I'm terrible at this sort of thing, but I've fallen in love with the concept of a QAF vid to Superman. Only, you know, the link is kaput.

Is it still available anywhere on the internet? I've heard only good things so naturally I'm dying to see for myself. :D

[humanconnection.livejournal.com]

The link isn't working, :(

[humanconnection.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, beautiful! I don't think Eminem would imagine this! It worked so well!
