The Supreme Being Teaches Spider-Man How to Be in Love
The first round goes, we go to blows
I'm the Spider-Man nobody knows
But the spider conceals the truth
The spectums raise your ringside days
I've been in love with you for a million days
But the fighter conceals his wounds
I'm in love with you but I fight the urge
Muhammad Ali makes a third round surge
And the audience can see the truth
His punches land I can hardly stand
I've got the power of a spider but the heart of a man
But the power is in the truth
Honesty can kill the spider
Muhammad Ali feels the same
The audience can give you power
And I hear them call my name (Here comes the Spider-Man)
Hear them call my name (Does whatever a spider can)
I hear them call my name (Here comes the Spider-Man)
Hear them call my name (Does whatever a spider can)
At the seventh round you make a sound
Muhammad Ali only knocks me down
He whispered to tell the truth
I say 'I'm in love with you' at the knock out count
The audience cheers as the champ wins out
But now you know the truth
Honesty can kill the fighter
Muhammad Ali knows the same
Honestly the truth is power
And I hear you call my name (Here comes the Spider-Man)
Hear you call my name (Does whatever a spider can)
I hear you call my name (Here comes the Spider-Man)
Hear you call my name (Does whatever a spider can)
I hear you call my name (Here comes the Spider-Man)
Hear you call my name (Does whatever a spider can)
I hear you call my name
Hear you call my name
