lyrics

You're not invincible, but you'll still be all right. You're not invisible, but you're still outta sight! You don't have a big machine gun or bones grafted with adamantium, but you still put up one hell of a fight.

Cougar Girl, please rule my world. Hypnotize my mind with your pink and black swirls. You're a supergirl, with eyes gleaming like pearls. I hope that you'll always be my friendly neighborhood Cougar Girl.

You don't have ESP, you can't get in people's minds. So do you mind telling me how you got stuck in mine? Strength of ten men, courage under fire, with a wit as sharp as razor wire. And you always show up when I flash your sign.

Those fiends exposed you to their nuclear reactor! I guess they didn't bet on your healing factor!

You're my heroine, and I don't want rehab. Please take my heart in to analyze at the lab. You'll find that it's forever true, and I'll always fight beside you. You'll always have my hand to grab.

The sky is blue. The sun is red. I'm in a room with walls of lead. And Cougar Girl is flying through my head. 'Nuff said.
