lyrics

I would love to take a woman to dinner and a movie
Maybe go out dancing show her the Bat Watusi
But inevitably it always happens to me
My date gets cut off short by the Joker and Harley

Guess that's the way that it goes this is the life that I chose
Break a criminal's nose yeah it helps with my woes
When I'm in the Batmobile I crank Kiss from a Rose
That song always makes me cry I wonder if Seal knows

I’ve always wanted kids that’s why I took in Dick Grayson
Had to stop after Jason Todd he tried to punch my face in
Would love to meet a girl without a leather suit and claws
Who isn’t into plants or taking up her father’s cause

I know I seem angry but it’s just a mechanism
Just ask Alfred I’ve got a sunny disposition
It's not who I am but what I do that defines me
And what I want to do is let the whole world see

When people look at me who is it that they see
Bruce Wayne the billionaire, a cowl wearing freak
There's no escaping no matter how hard I try
I want to show the lighter side of the dark knight

Jim Gordon’s always flashing that Bat Signal in the sky
When I'm crocheting pot holders and it's hard to deny
That it’s hard to fight crime when your nerves are all fried
So I watch a little lifetime have myself a good cry

Bane wants to break my back Two Face is double wack
Poison Ivy’s plants are phat wish my garden looked like that
Riddler’s always leaving clues and Scarecrow is a fright
Would like to have one day where I can have a game night

When people look at me who is it that they see
Bruce Wayne the billionaire, a cowl wearing freak
There's no escaping no matter how hard I try
I want to show the lighter side of the dark knight

I’m not just Gotham’s dark Knight
More than a man who fights crime
A vigilante with a poets heart

When Gordon hits that spotlight
It brings a tear to my eye
I was typecast right from the start
