[Verse 1]
So he wants to know
Does Superman really need to wear his cape to fly?
Where does rain come from and can I play outside?
And all my friends have daddies, mommy, why don't I?

[Chorus]
And so I wear waterproof mascara
There's things you shouldn't see when you're a kid
Thank God they make waterproof mascara
'Cause it won't run like his daddy did

[Verse 2]
So I'm dating again
Letting my guard down is just so hard to do
I've never introduced my son to someone new
Because if I get my heart broke
I know he will too

[Chorus]
And that's why I wear waterproof mascara
Some things you shouldn't see when you're a kid
Thank God they make waterproof mascara
'Cause it won't run like his daddy did

[Bridge]
I can throw the ball out in the yard
Teach him how to fish, how to drive a car
But in my heart, it just won't be enough
We've always gotten by somehow
I may not need a man right now
But I know he does (Oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Thank God they make waterproof mascara
'Cause it won't run like his daddy did
That's why I wear waterproof mascara
