I wish I were a performer
And you were my fan
If I could be your hero (If I could be your hero)
You could be my man (You could be my man)
If you thought I was smart
If you thought I was neat
It would melt my heart
And make it skip a beat
If I had famous parents, would you pay attention
To every word I'd say?
I'd know you were lying, it would leave me crying
I hope you know that's not the way to do things
I know it's hard to love a person you can't really see
But don't get discouraged, it doesn't have to be
I wish I had superpowers, how nice that would be
I'd make other girls invisible, so you'd have to look at me
I'd be drop-dead gorgeous (I'd be drop-dead gorgeous)
That you couldn't stand (That you couldn't stand)
If I could be your hero (If I could be your hero)
You could be my man (You could be my man)
If I had lots of money, would you think I'm funny
And laugh at every joke I tell?
I don't think I'd like it when you'd go "ha ha ha"
You're going straight to H-E-L-L-O, goodbye!
I wish I were a performer
And you were my fan
If I could be your hero (If I could be your hero)
You could be my man (You could be my man)
'Cause I know you don't love me
But I think you can
If I could be your hero (If I could be your hero)
You could be my man (You could be my man)
If I could be your hero (If I could be your hero)
You could be my man (You could be my man)
