There's a place way down in Bed Stuy, Where a boy lives behind bricks, He's got an eye for girls of eighteen, And he turns them out like tricks I went down to a place in Bed Stuy A little liquor on my lips I let him climb inside my body And held him captive in my kiss And there's a storm you're starting now And there's a storm you're starting now And there's a storm you're starting I'm a wanderess I'm a one night stand Don't belong to no city Don't belong to no man I'm the violence in the pouring rain I'm a hurricane I'm a hurricane I'm a hurricane I went down to a place in Brooklyn Where you tripped on LSD And I found myself reminded To keep you far away from me And there's a storm you're starting now And there's a storm you're starting now And there's a storm you're starting I'm a wanderess I'm a one night stand Don't belong to no city Don't belong to no man I'm the violence in the pouring rain I'm a hurricane I'm a hurricane I'm a hurricane He says, "Oh baby, beggin' you to save me Well lately, I like 'em crazy Oh, maybe, you could devastate me Little lady, come and fade me" I'm a wanderess I'm a one night stand Don't belong to no city Don't belong to no man I'm the violence in the pouring rain Come and fade me Come and fade me I'm a hurricane
