[Verse 1]
Where have all the good ones gone, and where are all the gods?
Where's my Aphrodite 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

[Chorus]
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
She's gotta be strong and she's gotta be fast
And she's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
She's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And she's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

[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 and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Supergirl to sweep me off my feet

[Chorus]
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
She's gotta be strong and she's gotta be fast
And she's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
She's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And she's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
