John Lee Supertaster

When I was 39 years old, I heard a story
I found out that they're people walking among us who have superpowers
These people are called Supertasters
To a Supertaster, bitter fruits taste far more bitter
And sweets far more sweet
Then, just a few months ago, I had the chance to meet a real live Supertaster named John Lee
And this is his true storyNothing tastes the same
(Nothing tastes the same)
To a Supertaster

When he tastes a pear
(Tastes a pear)
It's like a hundred pears
(It's like a million pears)He's got superpowers
(Superpowers)
He is a Supertaster

(Supertaster)
Though he looks like a man
(Talks like a man)
He is a Supertaster
