LIVING TORNADO
(Ike Cargill)


Susan Raye - 1970





He'll talk sweet as honey and offer the stars 
And he'll make you tremble with a burning desire
And then leave you helpless, heartbroken, alone
He's a living tornado with a heart made of stone

He's the flowers of Spring and the blizzard of Fall
When he gets what he wants, he don't want it at all
He looks the field over while dancing around
And a girls heart is timber that he loves to tear down

A living tornado, stay out of his way
Forgetting tomorrow what he promised today
To all who have loved him he's cheated and lied
Many hearts he has broken, still he's not satisfied

He's the flowers of Spring and the blizzard of Fall
When he gets what he wants, he don't want it at all
He looks the field over while dancing around
And a girls heart is timber that he loves to tear down
