Rock You Like A Hurricane
The Scorpions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's early morning, the sun comes out
Last night was shaking and pretty loud
My cat is purring, it scratches my skin
So what is wrong with another sin?

The bitch is hungry, she needs to tell
So give her inches and feed her well
More days to come, new places to go
I've got to leave, it's time for a show

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

My body is burning, it starts to shout
Desire is coming, it breaks out loud
Lust is in cages 'til storm breaks loose
Just have to make it with someone I choose

The night is calling, I have to go
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show
He's licking his lips, he's ready to win
On the hunt tonight for love at first sting

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane (are you ready, baby?)
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane (come on, come on, baby)
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

Rock you like a hurricane

It's early morning, the sun comes out
Last night was shaking and pretty loud
My cat is purring, it scratches my skin
So what is wrong with another sin?

The night is calling, I have to go
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show
He's licking his lips, he's ready to win
On the hunt tonight for love at first sting

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane (are you ready, baby?)
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane (come on, come on, come on, come on)
Here I am




Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am

The verses refer to the singer's burning physique and his need to satisfy his desires, while the chorus features the intensely repeated phrase "Rock you like a hurricane", with the singer presenting himself as a force to be reckoned with. The song is a classic of 1980s arena rock and reflects the hedonistic and rebellious mood of that decade.


The lyrics of "Rock You Like a Hurricane" are quite straightforward and use a lot of imagery relating to fire, storms, hunger, and animalistic instincts. The song has often been interpreted as an ode to rock and roll itself, with the "hurricane" representing the wild and unpredictable force of the genre, capable of shaking up the listeners and making them surrender to its power.
