Lyrics:

Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade

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

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 morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life (Larger than life)

Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder, 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 morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life (Larger than life)

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's 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 the fire in my blood

Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)

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 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
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 morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life (Larger than life)
