Holding Out for a Hero

[Intro]
1, 2, 3

[Verse 1]
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?

[Pre-Chorus]
Late at night I toss and turn
And I 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 larger than life
Larger than life

[Verse 2]
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 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 larger than life

[Bridge]
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Up where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone, somewhere watching me

[Outro]
I need a hero
And the we'll dance 'till the morning light
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 got to be fresh from a 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 got to be larger than life (Larger than life)
I need a hero
