(Doo doo doo doo... doo doo doo doo... doo doo doo doo...)
(Aaah aaah!)

Where have all the good men gone and where are all the Gods?
Where's the great white Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need

(Aaaah!)

and..I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero (hero!)
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light (hero till the morning light)
He's gotta be sure (aaaaah!)
And he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

(Doo doo doo doo... doo doo doo doo... doo doo doo doo...)
(Aaah aaah!)

Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach there's someone reaching back for me (oooh!)
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat (owowooh!)
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet

(Aaaah!)

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero (hero!)
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light (hero till the morning light)
He's gotta be sure (aaaaah!)
And he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night

Up where the mountains neath the heavens above
Out where the lightning strikes the sea
I can swear there is someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
(Aaah aaah!)

I need a hero (hero!)
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
(hero till the end of the night)
He's gotta be strong (aaaaah!)
And he's gotta be fast
And gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero (hero!)
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light (hero till the morning light)
He's gotta be sure (aaaaah!)
And he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

I need a hero (hero!)
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
(hero till the end of the night)
He's gotta be strong (aaaaah!)
And he's gotta be fast
And gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero (hero!)
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light (hero till the morning light)
He's gotta be sure (aaaaah!)
And he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night

(Ooooohh ooohhh ohh! Oooh oohoohh oooh! Oooh oohoohh...)
