《I Need a Hero》的詞曲作者是伊凡·庫里斯，以下是歌曲的詞曲：
I need a hero tonight
Something inside me says I can't deny
It's the touch of your hand and the taste of your wine
And I need a hero tonight
Chorus:
I need a hero, to take me to paradise
I need a hero, to make all my dreams come true
I need a hero, to rescue me from hell
I need a hero, who's gonna be my lover
Verse 2:
I've been up and down, I've been left and right
I've been dead and alive, I've been all around
But I still need a hero
Chorus:
I need a hero, to take me to paradise
I need a hero, to make all my dreams come true
I need a hero, to rescue me from hell
I need a hero, who's gonna be my lover
Bridge:
And if you're feeling lonely, and you need some company
Come on baby let me know
Cos I'll be waiting here forever standing in the rain
For you my dear to come back again
Chorus: (last line)
You don't have to worry cos you found your own special lover
Just come along with me, your always on my mind
I just need your lovin' all the time
Chorus: (repeat)
I need a hero, to take me to paradise (x2)
I need a hero, who's gonna be my lover (x2)
