Thought you'll change the weather Start a little storm, make a little rain But I'm gonna do one better Have the sun until you pray I'm a tornado Looking for a soul to take You're gonna see me coming by the selfish things that you did I'm gonna leave you guessing how this funnel is gonna hit I'm a tornado, looking for a man to break Yea I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around Toss it in the air and put in the ground Make sure you're never found, mm Thought you'd take a swing try another girl, try another night But it's the pain that brings my force of nature back to life I'm a tornado, more disturbed than an F five Hey I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around Toss it in the air and put it in the ground I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around Toss it in the air and put it in the ground Make sure you're never found, oh yeah, mm I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around Toss it in the air and put it in the ground Yeah I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around Toss it in the air and put it in the ground Make sure you're never found The winds are getting stronger and the sky is falling through You ain't got much longer, 'til the rage rips off the roof I'm a tornado and I'm coming after you
