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
I was never choosy

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 care, but you're not calm to me
You may know to love but you don't know how to love me
So I gonna set me free yeah.


[Chorus:]


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
