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
