I knew when she blew in, she wouldn't stay Every now and then, God makes one that way Red haired, wild child with storms in her eyes I knew I'd never be the same That's the thing about a hurricane She's all lightnin' and wind and rain Gets you close, and you're swept away Better hold on till it breaks 'Cause it's a hell of a ride If you can just survive the pain But that's the thing about a hurricane She said she was runnin' from her past And every breath she stole felt like my last Her kiss told me, "Better get on out of there" But I was too far gone to care That's the thing about a hurricane She's all lightnin' and wind and rain Gets you close, and you're swept away Better hold on till it breaks 'Cause it's a hell of a ride If you can just survive the pain But that's the thing about a hurricane Even with blue skies, there ain't no forgettin' Is it any wonder they name 'em after women That's the thing about a hurricane She's all lightnin' and wind and rain Gets you close, and you're swept away Better hold on till it breaks 'Cause it's a hell of a ride If you can just survive the pain But that's the thing about a hurricane Oooh, ooh-ooh
