Holding Out for a Hero

[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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)

[Refrain]

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

Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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)

[Bridge]

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

[Refrain]

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)

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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)
