    "Rocky" by Dickey Lee

    Alone until my eighteenth year, we met four springs ago
    She was shy and had a fear, of things she did not know
    But we got it on together in such a super way
    We held each other close at night, and traded dreams each day
    She said Rocky I've never been in love before, don't know if I can do it
    But if you let me lean on you take my hand I might get through it, through it
    I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free
    And God knows if the world should end your love is safe with me
    We found an old grey house, and you would not believe the way
    We worked at night to fix it up, took classes in the day
    Painting walls and sipping wine, sleeping on the floor
    With so much love with just too, soon we found there'd be one more
    And she said Rocky I've never had a baby before, don't know if I can do it
    But if you let me lean on you, take my hand I might get through it, through it
    I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free,
    and God knows if the word should end your love is save with me.
    We had lots of problems then, but we had lots of fun
    Like the birthday party, when our baby girl turned one
    I was proud and satisfied, life had so much to give
    Till the day they told me that she didn't have long to live
    She said Rocky I never had to die before don't know if I can do it
    Now it's back to two again my little girl and I
    Who looks so much like her sweet mother, sometimes that makes me cry
    I sleep alone at nights again, I walk alone each day
    And sometimes when I'm about to give in, I hear her sweet voice say to me
    Rocky you know you've been alone before, you know you can do it
    But if you'd like to lean on me, take my hand I'll help you through it, through it.
    I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free
    And God knows if the world should end, your love is safe with me
    She said Rocky you know you've been alone before...

    Maybe it's The Kinks - [Wish I Could Fly Like] Superman?

    Woke up this morning, started to sneeze
    I had a cigarette and a cup of tea
    I looked in the mirror what did I see
    A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
    I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes
    I had another sneeze and I blew my nose
    I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest
    I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed
    Surely there must be a way
    For me to change the shape I'm in
    Dissatisfied is what I am
    I want to be a better man

    Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
    Superman Superman I want to be like Superman
    I want to be like Superman
    Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman

    Woke up this morning, what did I see
    A big black cloud hanging over me
    I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead
    The news was so bad that I fell out of bed
    There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike
    Got to be a Superman to survive
    Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
    I'm such a wreck but I'm staying alive

    [Look in the paper, what do I see,
    Robbery, violence, insanity.]

    Hey girl we've got to get out of this place
    There's got to be something better than this
    I need you, but I hate to see you this way
    If I were Superman then we'd fly away
    I'd really like to change the world
    And save it from the mess it's in
    I'm too weak, I'm so thin
    I'd like to fly but I can't even swim

    Superman Superman I want to fly like Superman
    Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
    Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
    Superman Superman I want to be like Superman
    Superman Superman I want to fly like Superman

    Default Hey

    The kinks - (wish i could fly like) Superman, was released in 1979, and is known as their only disco song. Give it a go, seriously. Think theres some crap Runescape video on youtube that has it on.

    I am trying to find the artist for that same disco song myself. It is definately not the Kinks or Donavin. I heard it when I was 16, watching the 1978 or 1979 Mr. Lehigh Valley bodybuilding comtest in Pa. A pro bodybuilder named Boyer Coe, posed to this song, and it had female lyrics something like "he's a superman" with the "man" part echoing out. i am still searching.....Ok found it, artist:Celi Bee and Buzzy Bunch

    Celi Bee & the Buzzy Bunch - Superman?
    there's an echo after "man" in that song.
    but from other side, every disco song had an echo then... -D

    anyway, here's the link to sample: Amazon.com: Celi Bee & the Buzzy Bunch: Music: Celi Bee & the Buzzy Bunch

    This is a complete shot in the dark and I know it's from the 90s and not the 70s, but I instantly thought of the song "Jimmy Olsen's Blues" by the Spin Doctors.

    Well, I don't think I can handle this
    A cloudy day in metropolis
    I think I'll talk to my analyst
    I got it so bad for this little journalist
    It drives me up the wall and through the roof
    Lois and Clark in a telephone booth
    I think I'm going out of my brain
    I got it so bad for little miss Lois Lane

    Lois Lane please put me in your plan
    Yeah, Lois Lane you don't need no super man
    Come on downtown and stay with me tonight
    I got a pocket full of kryptonite

    Hes leaping buildings in a single bound
    I'm reading Shakespeare at my place downtown
    Come on downtown and make love to me
    I'm Jimmy Olsen not a titan, you see
    Hes faster than a bullet, stronger than a train
    Hes the one who got lucky got his cape around miss Lois Lane
    I cant believe my dilemma is real
    I'm competing with the man of steel
