Where's the streetwise 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 Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast Gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon 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 Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast Gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon Gotta be larger than life Larger than life I need a hero Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast Gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon Gotta be larger than life I need a hero Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast Gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero Holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon Gotta be larger than life Larger than life
