Valentine's Day Hero

For Valentine's Day-a rewrite of the Foreigner's classic Juke Box Hero

 

Too long I've spent

Standing alone in the heartache of a lonely rain

With my pride hung low

Cause I could't get a ticket

True love was always a sold out show

Stood back

Frightened by the roar of the crowd

I just could't get up the nerve

To enter that single's scene

I was a lonely flower

Up againest the wall

Till inside I heard a not so distant scream

 

I heard that one inner guitar

Coming alive to guide my way

I wiped the tears from my eyes

And the very next day

Cut every last string

With an ex who treated me

Like something he brought at a second hand store

Don't know how exactly I'm gonna do it

Just know this one thing for sure

 

My inner guitar has unleashed a plan

Feels so good

Taking my future

Into my own 2 hands

Searching for that one perfect man

Just one

To rock my inner guitar

Never ever leave me feeling low

To romance surpreme

Tonight I'll be punching my one way ticket

No more content to

Just go with everyone else's flow

 

I wanna start lovin'

Ain't never gonna stop

Gonna keep on lovin'

Someday, yeah, I'm gonna love rocket to the top

 

And be a Valentine's Day hero

Gonna wipe those tears from my eyes

Cause I'm a Valentine's Day hero

Rockin' to my inner guitar

Valentine's Day hero

No more tears in my eyes

Valentine's Day hero

I'm all yours tonight

 

No more a woman whose name is

Just another without meaning

In your little black book

Overcame the fear of my own shadow

I stand no more just waiting by that backstage door

Over livin' in the gloom of my past

My sun has finally emerged after the cruelest rain

Yeah, just one listen to my inner guitar

And my whole life has changed

 

I wanna start lovin'

Ain't never gonna stop

Gonna keep on lovin'

Someday, yeah, I'm gonna love rocket to the top

 

I'm a Valentine's Day hero

Got no more tears in my eyes

I'm a Valentine's Day hero

Got no more tears in my tears

Yeah, a Valentine's Day hero

Got no more tears in my eyes

With that one listen

Not so long ago to my inner guitar

I've come alive tonight

Yeah, just in time

To be all yours tonight

 

Yeah

I wanna start lovin'

Ain't never gonna stop

Gonna keep on lovin'

Someday, yeah, I'm gonna love rocket to the top

 

Cause I'm a Valentine's Day hero

Got no more tears in my eyes

I'm a Valentine's Day hero

Got no more tears in my eyes

Just one listen to my inner guitar

Wiped all the tears from my eyes

I'm a Valentine's Day hero

Aah aah yeah

Valentine's Day hero

Valentine's Day hero

Got no more tears in my eyes

No more tears in my eyes
