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 ’til 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 ’til 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
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 ’til 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 ’til 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 ’til 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
(Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood
Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood, blood)
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til 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 ’til 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 ’til 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 ’til 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 ’til the end of the night
The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction
A real big spender
Good lookin’ so refined
Say, wouldn’t you like to know what’s goin’ on in my mind?
So let me get right to the point
I don’t pop my cork for every man I see
Hey big spender,
Spend a little time with me
Wouldn’t you like to have fun, fun, fun
How’s about a few laughs, laughs
I could show you a good time
Let me show you a good time!

Yesv
She’s totally committed, to major independence
But she’s a lady through and through
She gives them quite a battle, all that they can handle
She’ll bruise some, she’ll hurt some too
But oh, they love to watch her strut
Oh, they do respect her, but
They love to watch her strut, uh, oh yeah
Sometimes they want to leave her, just give up and leave her
But they would never play that scene
In spite of all her talking, once she starts in walking
The lady will be all they ever dreamed
Oh, they love to watch her strut
Oh, they’d kill to make the cut
They love to watch her strut
Oh yeah
Love to watch
Watch her strut, now
Oh, they love to watch her strut
Oh, they do respect her, but
They love to watch her strut, uh, oh yeah
Love the strut
Love to, love to
Love to watch her strut
Love to watch her strut, oh
Your strut, ooh
Love your strut
They love to watch her strut
Love to watch her strut
Oh yeah
They love, they love to watch her strut
… Jimmy’s in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close you can hear him cry
… Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
(Sing it) Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
… Judy’s in the front seat picking up trash
Living on the dole, gotta make that cash
Won’t be pretty, won’t be sweet
She’s just sitting here on her feet
… Singing oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
(Go) Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
(Sing) Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
… Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
… I’ve had better days, man
I’ve seen better days
I’ve had better ways, man
I know better ways
… One, two, three and four
The devil’s knocking at your door
Caught in the eye of a dead man’s lie
Start your life with your head held high
… Now you’re on your knees with your head hung low
Big man tells you where to go
Tell them it’s good, tell them okay
Don’t do a goddamn thing they say
… Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
… Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
… I’ve seen better ways, man
I know better ways
I’ve seen better days, man
I’ve had better days
… Gina’s in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close you can hear the crying
… Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
Oh Lord, heaven knows, we belong way down below
… Oh Lord, tell us so, we belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
Oh thinkin’ about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We’ve been down that road before
But that’s over now
You keep me comin’ back for more
Baby you’re all that I want
When you’re lyin’ here in my arms
I’m findin’ it hard to believe
We’re in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
Isn’t too hard to see
We’re in heaven
Oh once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you’re feelin’ down
Yeah nothin’ can change what you mean to me
Oh there’s lots that I could say
But just hold me now
‘Cause our love will light the way
And baby you’re all that I want
When you’re lyin’ here in my arms
I’m findin’ it hard to believe
We’re in heaven
Yeah love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn’t too hard to see
We’re in heaven
I’ve been waitin’ for so long
For somethin’ to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin’ true
Through the good times and the bad
Yeah I’ll be standin’ there by you, oh!
And baby you’re all that I want
When you’re lyin’ here in my arms
I’m findin’ it hard to believe
We’re in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
Isn’t too hard to see
We’re in heaven, heaven
Whoa, oh, oh!
You’re all that I want
You’re all that I need
