I don't need a man
Who thinks he's good for me
I don't need a man
Who's nice and charming
I don't need anything
That people want me to be
I just need some help
When fears are harming

I'm looking for a hero
When hate is coming to thrill me
When love is trying to kill me
In the dark when my armour is broken
I'm looking for a hero
Who will keep me from falling
Who's here when my nightmares are calling
When my hopes keep running to zero
Will you be my hero?

Your love must be a sword
Cutting through doubt and fear
Your thoughts must be a shield
That will protect me
Your dreams must be a tower
Where I can hide from the world
Your hope must be a guard
That won't reject me

I'm looking for a hero
When hate is coming to thrill me
When love is trying to kill me
In the dark when my armour is broken
I'm looking for a hero
Who will keep me from falling
Who's here when my nightmares are calling
When my hopes keep running to zero
Will you be my hero?

'Cos I don't need a man
Just though in talking about love
Oh baby, I need you
If you're a fighter

I'm looking for a hero
When hate is coming to thrill me
When love is trying to kill me
In the dark when my armour is broken
I'm looking for a hero
Who will keep me from falling
Who's here when my nightmares are calling
When my hopes keep running to zero
Will you be my hero?

Will you be my hero?
