Mary J. Blige - Hero lyrics

rate me

This is for all the young ladies out there

Who may need a hero

Sometimes we have to save ourselves

Mama didn't raise no fool, nooo

Mama didn't raise no dummy, uhh

Mama didn't raise no imbecile

but that’s what I am if I let you hurt me yeah.

And as much as I wanna stay right here

To hear you say I’m sorry

I'll be damn if I stay right here

‘cause I know you do it again and again.

Chorus:

So I gotta be my hero tonight

I gotta come and save me tonight

I gotta be my hero tonight (my hero)

And drop the sword and fight for my life.

Since daddy didn't raise a good girl (no, no, no)

I was never choosy (no, no, no)

See I learnt that i love me…

No man could ever hurt me

‘cause as much as I wanna stay right here (right here)

To hear you say I’m sorry uhh

I'll be damn if I stay right here

‘cause I know you do it again and again.

Chorus:

So I gotta be my hero tonight, (my hero, my hero)

I gotta come and save me tonight (save my own life)

I gotta be my hero tonight,

and drop the sword and fight for my life ohh.

You may be good, but you’re not good to me

You may be kind, but you’re not kind to me

You may know to love, but you don't know how to love me

So I gonna set me free yeah.

Chorus:

So I gotta be my hero tonight, (my hero, my hero)

I gotta come and save me tonight (save my own life)

I gotta be my hero tonight (my hero, my hero)

and drop the sword and fight for my life ohh.

Just don’t think no one understands, you know I do

I had to pull up the sword and fight for my own life many ah times

So I get it ladies, I did it girls, save yourself

‘cause nobody else is gotta do it for you.
