So you want to know what real love is
So you want to understand
I’d love to show you girl what real love is
But I don’t know that I can

Real love
Real love

I ain’t cut out to wear no Romeo clothing
Darlin’ that’s just not in the plan
So won’t you get rid of that Capulet grin now
Don’t tug so heavy on my hand

I can’t be your superman
I can’t be your superman
I can’t be your superman

So you want to know what real love is
To put some blood back in your heart
I’d love to show you girl what real love is
But i don’t know where to start

My story’s nothin like a Verona love song
No such sweet verses in my head
So won’t you get rid of that Capulet grin now
And look at what you’ve got instead

I can’t be your superman
I can’t be your superman
I can’t be your superman
I can’t be your superman

Real love
Real love

I can’t be your superman
I can’t be your superman
I can’t be your superman
I can’t be your superman

Song Notes

A re-arranged and re-mastered version of “Capulet Grin” appears on the 2020 re-release of Letters Never Sent.

At 1:38, Jim Berry grunts loudly, unhappy with his trumpet take. (William kept a later and better take, but kept the grunt because it fit the frustrated emotion of the song.
