Lyrics
[Intro] Hero Hero

[Verse 1] (I)  don't like to be your friend 'Cause  I can do much better Can give you many more things To prove you I'm your man

[Pre-Chorus 1] Why should I give in and be a loser Can't you see that all I want Is your love so I'm gonna change and make Another start

[Chorus] I'd like to be your hero Tell me my feeling's right And I guess you won't mind Sometimes  zero Spending the rest of my life Like your hero not only your lover

[Verse 2] (I) don't want to be a toy You're using just to play with A toy you drop or break To prove yourself you're strong

[Pre-Chorus 2] Why should I put up with my big lot Can't you see that all I want Is your love so I'm gonna change and make Another start
