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 Ha ah ah ha ah ah ah I’m a hurricane Ha ah ah ha ah ah ah 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 Ha ah ah ha ah ah ah I’m a hurricane Ha ah ah ha ah ah ah 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
