Hurricane
Johnny Hallyday · Rough Town [1994]
They should have named a hurricane after you
With the trouble you cause and damage you do
You never look back on the runs that remains
Like a hurricane
I never should have opened up my window
The night I saw the lightning in you eyes
I never should have let you touch me with your finger
Cause you cut a path of destruction blowin' through my life
I ain't lyin'
I left the warm and tener arms that loved me
I left the safety of my home and family
I don't see the bitter tears on the horizon
I was all caught up in the power of your love rainin' down on me
Oh ! Listen baby
Oh ! And you blow in and out of my life, yes you do
I try to lock you out baby
But you keep on setting my little red house on fire
Somebody tell me why I never learn from my mistakes
Cause here I am standin' alone in the cold
Looking and the mess of my heart you've made.
With the trouble you cause and damage you do
You never look back on the runs that remains
Like a hurricane
I never should have opened up my window
The night I saw the lightning in you eyes
I never should have let you touch me with your finger
Cause you cut a path of destruction blowin' through my life
I ain't lyin'
I left the warm and tener arms that loved me
I left the safety of my home and family
I don't see the bitter tears on the horizon
I was all caught up in the power of your love rainin' down on me
Oh ! Listen baby
Oh ! And you blow in and out of my life, yes you do
I try to lock you out baby
But you keep on setting my little red house on fire
Somebody tell me why I never learn from my mistakes
Cause here I am standin' alone in the cold
Looking and the mess of my heart you've made.
