The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everybody needs a hero
Someone who always knows the way
Just when you're sure you've really gone astray
You always save the day
And today is just another one of those days
When I wish I had me one of those heroes
It's what everybody needs
And everybody needs a good friend
And in your life if one is found
You know you knew just where you stood when
Your good friend was around
No one could put you down
And today is just another one of those days
When I wish I had me one of those good friends
It's what everybody needs
A true romance
So there'll be a chance to plant seeds
So put that someone behind and move with them
To remind me of my bad deeds
And no one knows why everybody needs
What everyone needs
And I need, everybody needs, everybody needs a lover
Someone to spend the night, so dear
The mornings when you wanna hide your head beneath the cover
If you have your lover near, you'll never know that fear
And today is just another one of those days
When I wish I had me one of those
And today is just another one of those days
When I wish I had me one of those
And today is just another one of those days
When I wish I had me of those heroes
