You need a hero
You're holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's got to be fresh from the fight
You need a hero
You're holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's got to be larger than life, larger than life
Where have all the good men gone
And where are the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight
Upon a fiery steed?
Late at night you toss and turn
And dream of what you need
You need a hero
You're holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's got to be fresh from the fight
You need a hero
You're holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's got to be larger than life, larger than life
Oh-ho-ho-ho
Oh-ho-ho-ho
Oh-ho-ho-ho
Ohhhhh-ho
Somewhere after midnight
In your wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond your reach
There's someone reaching back for you
Racing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
It's gotta take a Superman
To sweep you off your feet
You need a hero
You're holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's got to be fresh from the fight
You need a hero
You're holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's got to be larger than life, larger than life
Oh-ho-ho-ho
Oh-ho-ho-ho
Oh-ho-ho-ho
Ohhhhh-ho
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
You can feel my approach like a fire in your blood (in your blood)
Oh-ho-ho-ho
Oh-ho-ho-ho
Oh-ho-ho-ho
Ohhhhh-ho
You need a hero
You're holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's got to be fresh from the fight
You need a hero
You're holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's got to be larger than life, larger than life
You need a hero
