[English]

You know what it is, man

Monsta, Monsta

X, X

What? What? What?

Alright, let's go!

All day, all night, even if you're perfect

There's just one problem, yeah

It flickers in my eyelids

They're superficial, just show-offs, so rude

You're mine

Even if the whole world turns into enemies

I'll rescue you from this captive castle

I'll protect you, yeah, like the goddess of fate (Venus)

It’s like a game you dance with your own hands

Wow, I can't be replaced, only I can do it

I can be your hero

I can be your hero

I can be your hero

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero

You bad guys, get lost!

Watch out, I'll silence you with my class

Just shallow tries won't win me over

You can't steal what's mine

It's all nonsense, I bet my whole stake

You act all tough without even being prepared (Woof woof woof)

What?

This isn't just 'Mamma Mia,' you better watch out

Killing on the beat! I'm like a singing Superman

Your sincere attitude shines, you're original

I look the best when I perform

Everyone's captivated, bow!

You're mine

Wherever you are in the world

I'll find you no matter who you're with, and take you away

I won't let go, just like the goddess of fate (Venus)

It's like a game you dance with your own hands

Wow, I can't be replaced, it has to be me

I can be your hero

I can be your hero

I can be your hero

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

If you try to mess with me, relentless like bang bang bang bang

Cutting through the wind, tearing the night like Batman

I’ll be an anti-hero now, the only one I want to protect is you

Anyone making your eyes cry, I’ll wipe them away perfectly

I can be your hero

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

...

[Japanese]

Ya'll know what it is man

Monsta, Monsta

X, X

What? what? what?

Ok man, let's go!

All day All night 君はPerfectでも

たった一つの問題点 yeah

まぶたにチラつく

上っ面だけの奴らさ So rude

君は俺のもので

世界中が敵になったって

囚われの城からだって 救い出して

守ってあげるよ そう 運命の女神(venus)

その手で踊るゲームみたいだ

Wow 他じゃダメなんだ 俺じゃなくちゃ

I can be your hero

I can be your hero

I can be your hero

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero

悪党ども Get lost！

格の違いで 黙らす 俺に注意しろ

ありがちなアピールするだけじゃ

奪い取れねぇよ

全部デタラメだろ 全額 Bet

覚悟もないくせに(ワンワンワン)

What？

マンマミーアじゃ 済まされないかも 気をつけな

Beatの上 Killin' it！ 歌うスーパーマンさ

真摯な態度に光る才能 オリジナル

一番俺が絵になる

全員 虜 bow！

君は俺のもので

世界中のどこにいたって

誰といたって見つけ出して 奪い去って

離さないんだよ そう 運命の女神(venus)

その手で踊るゲームみたいだ

Wow 他じゃダメなんだ 俺じゃなくちゃ

I can be your hero

I can be your hero

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

俺を邪魔するなら容赦なくbang bang bang bang

風をシュンシュン切り裂くのさ 闇夜のBATMEN

もうANTI HEROになろう 守りたいのはひとりだけ

君の瞳を濡らす奴は綺麗に消してあげるよ

I can be your hero

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man

I can be your hero, I can be your man
