Lyric discussion by Askew 

This song always seemed sort of melancholy to me. I see it (partly) as about Superman and how he can't ever date/marry Lois Lane as Clark Kent because he's not a "real man", i.e. not human. ("Only a real man can be a lover")

Though there's a lot of other things that don't seem to correlate with this in the song.
