The song you're thinking of is probably Holding Out For A Hero by Bonnie Tyler: It's pretty famous, and was first released in 1984 on the soundtrack for Footloose. Since then, the song has been covered numerous times and has appeared on the soundtracks for Shrek 2 and Nacho Libre, among others.

This is the chorus:

I need a hero

I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night

He’s gotta be strong

And he’s gotta be fast

And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light

He’s gotta be sure

And it’s gotta be soon

And he’s gotta be larger than life

Or, it could be Hero by Skillet.

The 2009 song Hero by Christian rock band Skillet also contains the lyrics "I need a hero," but it's not as famous as the Bonnie Tyler song. This is the chorus:

I need a hero to save me now

I need a hero, save me now

I need a hero to save my life

A hero will save me just in time
