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
