Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I
I would be king
And you
You would be my queen
[Verse 2]
For nothing
Could keep us together
But we could beat them
Forever and ever
We could be heroes
Just for one day
[Verse 3]
You
You can be mean
And I
I'll drink all the time
[Verse 4]
'Cause we're lovers
And that is the fact
Ooh, yes, we're lovers
And that is that
[Verse 5]
For nothing
Could keep us together
Though we may be down
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day
[Verse 6]
And I
Well, I wish I could swim
Like the dolphins
Like the dolphins can swim
[Verse 7]
Oh, nothing
Will drive them away
Though we could beat them
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Forever and ever
What you say?
[Verse 8]
And I
I would be king
And you
Could be my queen
[Verse 9]
Though nothing
Can keep us together
We can beat them
Forever and ever
We can be heroes
Just for one day
[Verse 10]
Well I
I can remember
Standing
By the wall
And the guards
Shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
[Verse 11]
And the shame
Fell on the other side
We can beat them
Forever and ever
Or we can be heroes
Just for one day
What you say?
[Verse 12]
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
[Verse 13]
Though nothing
Will keep us together
And maybe we're lying
Then you better not stay
Oh, we can be heroes
Just for one day
[Verse 14]
Oh
We can be heroes
Oh
Just for one day
Oh
Just for one day
