Holding Out For A Hero

Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
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
Hit it

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til 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 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

Do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do
Do, do

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
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til 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 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be sure and it'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

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could 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
Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood
Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood

I need a hero (hero)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night (hero 'til 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 (hero)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light (hero 'til the morning light)
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

I need a hero hero
