“Superman” by Eminem explores his distrust of romantic relationships, casual encounters, fame, and the pressure to become someone’s emotional “hero.” Eminem presents himself as unwilling to commit, mixing attraction with cynicism and frustration. The song’s Superman metaphor reflects his refusal to save or satisfy someone seeking a deeper relationship with him.
Superman Lyrics
[Intro: Eminem & Dina Rae]
Mhm
You high, baby?
Yeah, hahahaha
Yeah?
Talk to me
You want me to tell you something?
Uh-huh
I know what you wanna hear
[Refrain: Eminem & Dina Rae]
I know you want me, baby, I think I want you too
I think I love you, baby, I think I love you too (Oh-ooh)
I’m here to save you, girl, come be in Shady’s world (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
I wanna 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 wanna save you, girl, come be in Shady’s world (Ooh-ooh)
Oh boy, you drive me crazy, bitch, you make me hurl
[Verse 1: Eminem]
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 muhfuckin’ 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, wouldn’t buy you life
What, you tryin’ to be my new wife?
What, you Mariah? Fly through twice
[Refrain: Eminem]
But I do know one thing though
Bitches, they come, they go
Saturday through Sunday, Monday (Yeah-yeah)
Monday through Sunday, yo
Maybe I’ll love you one day
Maybe we’ll someday grow
‘Til then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin’ runway, ho
[Chorus: Eminem]
‘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: Eminem]
Don’t get me wrong, I love these hoes
It’s no secret, everybody knows
Yeah, we fucked, bitch, so what?
That’s about as far as your body goes
We’ll be friends, I’ll call you again
I’ll chase you around every bar you attend
Never know what kinda car I’ll be in
We’ll see how much you’ll be partyin’ then
You don’t want that, neither do I
I don’t wanna 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
[Refrain: Eminem]
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
‘Til then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin’ runway, ho
[Chorus: Eminem & Dina Rae]
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 wanna 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 wanna save you, girl, come be in Shady’s world
Oh boy, you drive me crazy, bitch, you make me hurl
[Verse 3: Eminem]
First thing you say:
“I’m not fazed, I hang around big stars all day
I don’t see what the big deal is anyway
You’re just plain old Marshall to me”
Ooh, yeah, 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 don’t grow partial
That’s ammo for my arsenal
I’ll slap you off that bar stool
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 ’til you can’t stand
Girl, you just blew your chance
Don’t mean to ruin your plans
[Refrain: Eminem]
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
‘Til then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin’ runway, ho
[Chorus: Eminem & Dina Rae]
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 wanna 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 wanna save you, girl, come be in Shady’s world
Oh boy, you drive me crazy, bitch, you make me hurl
‘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
‘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

Song Bio of Superman Lyrics – Eminem
“Superman” appears on Eminem’s fourth studio album, The Eminem Show, released on May 26, 2002. Featuring vocals from Dina Rae, the track pairs a smooth, R&B-flavored hook with Eminem’s characteristically blunt verses, creating a deliberate contrast between the song’s seductive sound and its cynical message about commitment. Rather than playing the hero its title suggests, Eminem uses the Superman persona ironically, rejecting the idea of being anyone’s rescuer or long-term partner. The song leans into detachment and distrust in relationships, themes that recurred throughout his early-2000s work as he processed fame, scrutiny, and personal turmoil in the public eye.
Production-wise, “Superman” fits neatly into The Eminem Show‘s broader sound, blending polished hooks with unfiltered lyricism, a formula that helped the album top the Billboard 200 and become one of the best-selling records of 2002. Dina Rae’s vocals soften the track’s edges without diluting its message, giving it crossover appeal beyond Eminem’s usual audience.
Note: this track contains explicit language and adult themes and is intended for mature listeners.
