Doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doooo
Aaahhh 
Aaahhh

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 I turn and I dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for at 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 it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

Doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doooo
Aaahhh
Aaahhh

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

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 it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
I'm holding out for at hero 'till the the end of the night

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is 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

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 it'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

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love this song, i've loved it ever since Footloose! But the Shrek2 version is just as good, its very different for those of you who dont know. there's no big band or anything in the original, and no choir sounding thingy doing back-up. all hail the song! toodles all!

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song originally was the theme song for a tv show called Coverup. It was a show out in the 1980's that abruptly ended when the leading man accidentally killed himself onstage with a prop gun, just a freak accident type of thing; but this song is excellent and I love it! I think its kind of haunting but beautiful and summing up every womans search for her hero.

8 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal When I heard This Classic Bonnie Tyler track on Footloose I was blown away though I have heard other versions none quite match the Bonnie's. In fact none even comes close
