Lyrics for Hurricane

Tempted in by velvet gloves You spilt the milk, I lapped it up And I let the push become a shove And told myself this must be love Let me tell you sister, oh, he'll sweep in like a twister And you'll only know he's hit you when the lights go down Feel the pressure risin' as he looms on your horizon You won't hear the sirens 'til the walls give out, ooh-ooh-ooh He's a hurricane He's a hurricane, mm Played me like a minor chord I picked my part, you wrote the score (and you played it well) And you ground my heart into the floor (like you always do) And still I'm crawlin' back for more (like I've done before) The pill you shouldn't swallow whisper words so sweet and hollow Oh, he'll whistle and you'll follow, he's a startin' gun Make you think you're winnin', even when the room is spinnin' Halfway up to Heaven by the time he's done Oh, and he's never done He's a hurricane He's a hurricane I didn't take the warnin', and when it started pourin' I opened all my doors and laid my body bare Think I know the endin', I'm so tired of pretendin' I'll drown in you 'til mornin' and come up for air, oh He's a hurricane He's a hurricane He's a hurricane (he's a hurricane, he's a hurricane) (And he's gonna blow me away), oh-oh He's a hurricane (he's a hurricane, he's a hurricane) (And he's gonna blow me away), oh-oh
