Verse:
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need
Chorus:
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
He's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
Da da da da da da da da da da, da da da da da daa x2
Verse:
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
Isn't there a superman to sweep me off my feet
Chorus:
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
He's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
Bridge:
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 raging flood
Oh his approach is like a
Fire in my blood
Chorus:
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
He's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
He's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
Outro:
Da da da da da da da da da da, da da da da da daa x2

Da da da da da da da da da da, da da da da da daa x2
(Larger than life)
(Oh baby)
(baby)
(Baby i know)
