  • 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?
    All my friends have daddies, mommy why don't I?

    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

    So I'm dating again
    Letting my guard down is just so hard to do
    Never introduced my son to someone new
    'Cause if I get my heart broke
    I know he will too

    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

    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 wont be enough
    We've always gotten by somehow
    I may not need a man right now
    But I know he does

    Thank God they make waterproof mascara
    'Cause it won't run like his daddy did
    That's why I wear waterproof mascara Writer/s: BRAD DOUGLAS PAISLEY, CHRIS DUBOIS, SHERYL CROW
