Lyrics

1. HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO

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 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.

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.

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's 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 the fire in my blood.

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.


2. TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit lonely And you're never coming round
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit tired of Listening to the sound of my tears
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit nervous That the best of all the years have gone by
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified And then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart.

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight.

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart.

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit restless And I dream of something wild
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit helpless And I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified But then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart.

Turn around bright eyes
Turn around bright eyes
Turn around, every now and then I know you'll never be the Boy you always wanted to be
Turn around, but every now and then I know you'll always be The only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Turn around, every now and then I know there's no one in the Universe as magical and wondrous as you
Turn around, every now and then I know there's nothing any Better and there's nothing I just wouldn't do
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart.

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
Well be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight.

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do.

A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart.


3. I CAN'T LEAVE YOUR LOVE ALONE

There is a shadow rolling over my heart
Like a cloud across the moon
There is a devil on my shoulder
Spreading his light into my room.

Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind that's torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone.

A wicked wind beats at my window
Telling me that I'm no good
There's no life in this bleak desert
There's no life, without you.

Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind that's torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone.

Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind that's torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone.

I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone.

2. FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF NIGHT

I don't want to let another minute get by
They're slipping through our fingers, but we're ready to fly
The night'll be our cover and we'll huddle below
We got the music in our bodies and the radio.

And when the morning arrives it'll all be gone
Disappearing in (to) the crack of dawn
We better make our move now before the sun is awake
It's time to put up or shut up and to pick up the pace.

And I don't want to let another minute get by
Love is going to get us while the moon is in the sky
We may be running out of night, but never running out of Steam
We're acting on a hunch, and we'll be acting out a dream.

There really isn't any time to lose
They're going to catch us if we wait until it gets too light
You're such a pretty boy
Let me show you what to do, and you'll do it
But you gotta move faster
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night.

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night.

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night.

Let me show you how to drive me crazy
Let me show you how to make me feel so good
Let me show you how to take me to the edge of the stars and Then back again
You've gotta show me how to drive you crazy
You've gotta show me all the things you want to happen to You
We've gotta tell each other everything we always wanted Someone to do.

I don't want to push you now and I don't want to rush
We're getting closer every second now, but close is not Enough
The night'll be our cover and we'll huddle below
We got the music in our fingers and the radio.

There really isn't any time to lose
We're going to lose it if we wait until it gets too light
You're such a pretty boy
Let me show you what to do, and you'll do it
But you gotta move faster
Faster than the speed of night.

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night.

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night.

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night.
