Whirlwind Lyrics by Barrett Strong

The Collection

1960

You know it hit me (Hit me like whirlwind)
You know it struck me (Struck me like a bolt of lightning)
It sent a chill (Chill up and down my spine)
When your lips (When your lips came close to mine)
You know it's love (Love that I'm talkin' about)
And when it hit me (I started to jump and shout)
You know it hit me (Yeah)
It hit me (Yeah)
It hit me (Yeah)
It hit me (Yeah)
Woah, love hit me like a whirlwind (Like a whirlwind)

Talkin' 'bout love
Oh, what a feelin', now
When it hit me
It sent my head, my head, my head a-reelin'

You know it hit me (Hit me like whirlwind)
You know it struck me (Struck me like a bolt of lightning)
You know it hit me (Yeah)
It hit me (Yeah)
It hit me (Yeah)
It hit me (Yeah)
Woah, love hit me like a whirlwind (Like a whirlwind)

(Aw, yeah)

Woah, talkin' 'bout love
Oh, what a feelin', now
When it hit me
It sent my head, my head, my head a-reelin'

You know it hit me (Hit me like whirlwind)
You know it struck me (Struck me like a bolt of lightning)
You know it hit me (Yeah)
It hit me (Yeah)
It hit me (Yeah)
It hit me (Yeah)
Woah, love hit me like a whirlwind (Like a whirlwind)

Yeah, like a whirlwind
Woah, like a whirlwind
You know that hit me like a whirlwind
