If only Lois knew Clark Kent could see through her dress She would have flown to his arms And uncovered his "S" She could have torn off his trousers Discovered his tights He wouldn't put up a fight If only Lois knew That at the time of ascent Superman blasted off And there wasn't no Kent She would have clung to his wingspan A fly on the wall He wouldn't let her fall But her mouth never moved And her hair stayed in place Too little magic In so stiff a face Framed in the funnies Captioned and stripped Ten cents a copy Too cheap a script If only Lois knew That Kent was light years away That in the name of Krypton He was saving the day She could have leapt on his steno In one single bound But he was never around She wouldn't know love If it wasn't out flying And it broke all her pencils without trying If he took off his glasses And he blew her a kiss And a windstorm ensued in Metropolis Lois was lost on the man made of granite Lost in her own daily planet If only Lois knew That at the scene of a crime Kent was not to be seen But always filed on time He always scooped up a story In super disguise She always looked so surprised He kept an x-ray eye upon her She slept alone on Loveless Lane He never sacrificed his honor He never took her on his plane She didn't like the meek and shrinking She always thought she'd like to fly He always knew what she was thinking When she was staring at the sky She wouldn't know love If it only went one way Taking off with her desk as a runway If he told her the truth And the rules of the order As he dressed in the phone booth And he asked her for quarters Lois was lost on the man made of granite Lost in her own daily planet If only Lois knew Clark Kent could see through her dress She would have flown to his arms And uncovered his "S" She could have had herself a layout Some news she could feel With the man made of steel
