English[edit]

You're in line to be number one
And everyone's depending on you
I must admit it's getting kinda rough
A-waitin' 'round and playing number two

I have particular needs
So why'd I have to fall for a hero?

There ain't nothin' in the world that's free
A sacrifice to be all you can be
I ain't used to sittin' 'round the tree
But he's worth havin', if you know what I mean

Sometimes I feel like I'm in the way
But I know he's out there savin' the day

I have particular needs
So why'd I have to fall for a hero?
I'm not so hard to please
So why'd I have to fall for a hero?

Hero... Hero...
Why'd I have to fall for a hero?

Brazilian Portuguese lyrics Translation

Você gosta de ser número um?
Por isso nada fica pra depois
Vou te dizer, pra mim é bem difícil ficar quietinha, ser a número dois

Eu sinto um vazio que até dói
Então por que fui me ligar num herói?

Já fez disso profissão de fé
E larga tudo para ser o que é
Saiba que esperar não é comigo, mas vale a
Pena, vê se entende o que eu digo

Às vezes eu me sinto sozinha
E sei que ele está lá salvando o dia

Eu sinto um vazio que até dói
Então por que fui me ligar num herói?

Pergunte a pergunta me
Rói, por que fui me ligar num herói?

Herói...
Herói...
Por que fui me ligar num herói?

Do you like being number one?
That's why nothing gets left for later
I'll tell you, for me it's really hard to stay quiet, to be number two

I feel an emptiness that even hurts
So why did I get attached to a hero?

He's already made it a profession of faith
And he'll give up everything to be who he is
Know that waiting isn't my thing, but it's worth it
See if you understand what I'm saying

Sometimes I feel alone
And I know he's there saving the day

I feel an emptiness that even hurts
So why did I get attached to a hero?

Ask me the question
It gnaws at me, why did I ever get attached to a hero?

Hero...
Hero...
Why did I have to attach myself to a hero?
