Hurricane
Bette Midler Lyrics

You drove into town like the wind.
You came into my life so suddenly and fully, like a powerful gust of wind.

Hot on the heels of the rain.
You arrived right after a difficult time in my life, when I was feeling emotionally stormy and uncertain.

And in your eyes all is calm.
But you seem completely at ease and sure of yourself, which is intriguing to me.

That's why they call you Hurricane.
Your presence is so impactful that people compare you to the destructive and unstoppable force of a hurricane.

You blow me away. You blow me away.
You constantly surprise and amaze me with your power and intensity.

Ooh, what a powerful force / Howling around in my brain.
You have such a profound impact on my thoughts and emotions that it's almost overwhelming.

Knocking me down with your touch. / Mmm, that's why they call you Hurricane.
Your touch is so intense and captivating that it leaves me feeling disoriented and off-balance, just like a hurricane would.

Hurricane gonna kill me! / Honey, you sure do thrill me! / Swallow me without a sound.
Your power and intensity are almost frightening, but I can't help being drawn to you because you're so exhilarating and captivating.

Hurricane is a-rising, / Hot and so surprising. / Forecast warns I'm gonna drown. / Blow me and swell me on down.
I know that being involved with you is dangerous and even potentially destructive, but I'm still willing to let you sweep me away because you're so alluring and fascinating.

Leave broken hearts in your wake.
You have a reputation for leaving a trail of devastation and heartbreak in your wake, but I'm still drawn to you anyway.

I ain't the one to complain, no, no, no!
I know that getting involved with you is risky and potentially painful, but I'm not one to complain or walk away from a challenge.

You blow all the lives that you take.
You have a tendency to completely upend the lives of those you come into contact with, leaving them feeling overwhelmed and uncertain.

Give me a ride, won't you Hurricane?
Despite knowing all the risks and potential pitfalls, I'm begging you to take me along for the ride because I can't resist your power and allure.

Hurricane is rising, it keeps surprising me. / Spinnin' me around and around. / Don't let me down.
I know that being involved with you is unpredictable and tumultuous, but I'm willing to take the risk as long as you don't abandon me or let me down.

Tell me you love me. / He really does love me. / Spinnin' me around and around. / Don't let me down.
Despite all the doubts and insecurities I have about our connection, I desperately want to believe that you love me and won't leave me feeling lost and out of control.

Baby, you and I sky high! / You and I sky high! / Destiny is calling me. / All I want is calling me away.
I know that our connection is wild and unpredictable, but I'm so drawn to you that I'm willing to take the risk and follow you no matter where fate might take us.
