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 I turn and I dream of what I need
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 he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He’s gotta be sure And it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life! Larger than life
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach, there’s someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
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 he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He’s gotta be sure And it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life, larger than life
I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the the end of the night
