Everybody needs a hero, someone who always knows the way
Just when you're sure you've really gone astray,
He always saves the day

And today is just another one of those days when I wish I had me one of those heroes

It's what everybody needs
Everybody needs a good friend,
And in your life when one is found,
You know you knew just where you stood when,
Your good friend was around,
No one could put you down.
And today is just another one of those days when I wish I had me one of those good friends

It's what everybody needs,
True romance, so there will be a chance to plant seeds

So there'll be someone behind who'll be there to remind ‘em of their deeds

And no one knows why everybody needs,
But everyone needs, and I need, everybody needs

Everybody needs a lover.
Someone to spend the night so dear

And mornings when you want to hide your head beneath the covers

If you have your lover near,
You never know that fear

And today is just another one of those days when I wish I had me one of those
Today is just another one of those days when I wish I had me one of those
Today is just another one of those days when I wish I had me one of those Heroes!
