Holding Out For A Hero

Song by Bonnie Tyler.


(Tchoo-tchoo, roo-tchoo)
(Tchoo-tchoo, roo-tchoo)
(Tchoo-tchoo, roo-tchoo)
(Ah)
(Ah!)

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!

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till 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 till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
He's gotta be soon
and he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life!

(Tchoo-tchoo)
(Ooh-ooh, tchoo-tchoo)
(Ooh-ooh, roo-tchoo)
(Ah)
(Ah!)

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 Superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till 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 till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
and he's gotta be soon
and he's gotta be larger than life!
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night

[instrumental interlude]

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning strikes the sea
I can swear 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 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...)
(Ah)
(Ah!)

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till 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 till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
He's gotta be soon
and he's gotta be larger than life!
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till 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 till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
and he's gotta be soon
and he's gotta be larger than life!
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
Ooh, ooh, ooh, hoo...
